KRISHNA’S BUTTER BALL – STONE OF THE SKY GOD

One of the famous historical places in India is Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu. In Mahabalipuram Krishna’s butterball was located. In Tamil, it was called” Vaanirai Kal” which means stone of the sky god. It weighs 250 tons balanced on approximately 1.2 meter base on the slope and remains the same place for about 1200 years. The rock balance in 4 feet area of hill and resting at an angle of 45 degrees

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.
