It’s the kind of boulder you’d expect to be chased by in an adventure movie. Thankfully, Krishna’s Butterball is completely still, and has remained in the same position for 1,200 years.  

The original name of the rock, Vaan Irai Kal, translates from Tamil as "Stone of Sky God." Located in Mamallapuram, a coastal town in Tamil Nadu, India, this gigantic rock seemingly defies the laws of physics. Despite weighing around 250 tonnes, standing 20 feet high and 16 feet wide, Krishna’s Butterball rests at 45 degrees angle on a smooth slant and does not roll.

Throughout history, attempts to move Krishna’s Butterball for safety concerns have been unsuccessful - even seven elephants couldn’t move the thing. The only explanation? God, or aliens (...or complicated rock physics that goes over our heads.)
