This made the scientists to be confusing and raised a question How is this possible? As every object in the universe attracts every other object. The Madras governor Arthur Havelock in 1908 tried to move the rock in regards to people safety .Using seven elephants they pulled the rock but not even able to sake it. Before this Pallava king, Narshimhavarman attempted to dislocate the rock yet didn’t succeed.
Even though it is bigger and heavier than the Monolithic structure of Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu of Peru. Mahabalipuram have affected by tsunami and earthquakes much time between these years but the rock remains static in that place. The only science behind this is friction and center of gravity which prevent them from rolling and balance on small contact areas respectively. Due to this people wish to visit this historical place. Many people will take a rest under the shadow of the rock.
Once, south Indian king, Raja Raja Chola have visited Mahabalipuram and inspired by the balance of rock is located. This made him create a Thanjavur bommai (doll). The base of this doll is curved in half spherical .Thus this doll will never fall this balance is due to the center of gravity.
