Krishna's Butterball - Mahabalipuram(Tamilnadu)
Krishna’s Butterball is a tourist attraction in Mahabalipuram, a town about 60 km south of Chennai famous for its stone carvings.
The “butterball” is a giant balancing rock, 5 mtrs in diameter, perched on a smooth slope, seemingly defying all laws of physics.
The rock is balanced upon a 4 feet area of the hill.
Its simple physics that a structure needs a 250 ton rock has a far-fetched chance of resting on a 4 feet area for such
a long period. To site imagery, imagine a ball on a slope, unless it has a heavy footing it rolls down pretty fast.
This huge rock boulder is quite popular with locals and tourists alike as it makes for an interesting backdrop for some stylish photographs. Tourists may sit under the cool shade of the rock and can have their photographs taken.
One of the most common sights is of visitors placing hands under the stone posing for pictures, which looks as though they are holding it. Children can enjoy sliding down the hillside as it is a great natural slide.
Timings:- This is Open Ground Place ,you can mostly visit in the day time.
How To Go:-
The Place is 60KM Away from Chennai.
