Detail InformationEdit
Krishna’s Butterball is a curious tourist attraction in Mahabalipuram. The “butterball” is a giant balancing rock, 5 meters in diameter, perched on a smooth slope, seemingly defying all laws of physics. In Hindu mythology Lord Krishna had an insatiable appetite for butter, and as a child, would often sneak a handful from his mother’s butter jar. This massive natural rock boulder is attributed to a bolus of butter the young Krishna would steal.
