Krishna’s Butter Ball — The mystery of the 250-ton boulder that has defied gravity for over 1,300 years.
The 20ft rock appears to defy gravity, looking like it’s going to roll at any moment – and all attempts to move it have been in vain.
In 1908 Governor of Madras Arthur Lawley is said to have used seven elephants to move it without having any luck.
Hindu folklore says that deity Lord Krishna would often steal handfuls of butter from his mother’s jar, and this natural boulder is attributed to the mass of butter that he pinched.
