Amazing Balancing Rock
Krishna’s Butterball is a giant natural rock perched on a hillside, seemingly in defiance of all laws of physics—it’s a common sight to see visitors placing hands under the stone posing for pics, which looks as though they are holding it! The rock provides welcome shade if you dare to sit underneath it, and local kids have discovered that the slippery nearby hillside also makes a great natural slide.
Krishna’s Butter Ball, Mamallapuram, India
Krishna’s Butterball is enormous; a granite, glacial erratic, precariously perched on a stone escarpment and visited by thousands of people every year. People play with the stone, pushing and touching it in the hope of sending it sliding down the rock face. We can also see children travelling down the escarpment on a natural slide, made smooth by years of playing with this natural stone phenomenon.
