Balancing Rock, Tamil Nadu

 

 
Balancing Rock is 60 km from Chennai in Mahabalipuram. Often referred to as Krishna's Butter Ball, it is a huge boulder resting on a narrow rock base.

The rock is so precariously perched on a small surface area that as one TripAdvisor travellers says, "You almost don't want to stand in front of it." This is an excellent place for all the shutterbugs.

 

 A massive stone, popularly known as the Krishna's Butter Ball, has balanced itself precariously at the slippery edge of a hill for ages. Looking at it, one wonders as to how come a 20-feet-high, 5-metre-wide and 250-ton stone stood the test of time to remain stuck at that place for so many years. Apart from attracting travellers, the rock also serves as a shade for animals who want to stay away from the sun for a while.
