Lord Krishna’s butterball, the giant butter-like rock that refuses to roll downhill and how it has stayed here for centuries: Here’s how to visit it

Krishna’s Butterball, a remarkable geological marvel in Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu, has stood majestically on a slope for more than 1200 years without budging. Legends abound about attempts by both kings and elephants to shift this massive granite boulder, but none have succeeded. Its unique shape and balance maintain its stillness, making it a celebrated part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-visit destination for travelers.
