Krishna's Butter Ball

Krishna's Butter Ball is a large, smooth boulder in Tamil Nadu, India, that appears to defy gravity. Weighing around 250 tons, it rests on a slope without rolling downhill, showcasing an intriguing natural balance. The boulder is a popular tourist attraction and local legend attributes its stability to Krishna’s playful myths. Geologists suggest its position is due to unique rock composition and the gradual erosion that leaves a stable base. Despite its appearance of being precariously perched, the Butter Ball remains secure, illustrating impressive natural sculpting and balance.
