Overview

Balancing Rock is a Mahabalipuram's mysterical location where a big structure of 250 tons and 20 feet high, defies the law of Physics. This 1200-year-old rock stands on an extremely small area over the hill. One must visit to experience this natural balancing act which is locally also named as Krishna's Butter Ball. In Tamil, the name of Balancing Rock is pronounced as 'Vaanirai Kal' which means 'Stone of the sky God'.

Description

The Balancing Rock is a hard to believe structure according to the science rules. It is such a grand and a heavy ball of stone which has balanced itself on a 4 feet area from a long period of 1200 years. It is heavier and bigger rock than the monolithic stones of Machu Picchu and Peru. This surprising Rock also fails the pushing attempt made by the seven elephants on the order of Madras Governor, Arthur Lawley.
