Many people think that this stone has created nature, but some theorists point out that such large spheres could not have come about simply by the action of natural forces such as wind, water, ice, snow, moving weeds, and other substances that cause erosion. There are no similar stones in its surroundings and the hill surface is smooth.

However, if we admit the fact that the stone did not come from a natural process, how did it actually happen? Even nowadays it would be difficult to pull 250 tons of heavy colossus up the hill. Such a task would certainly require the use of heavy machinery, such as cranes. How would people who live in more than 12000 flights do that then?

Another mystery is how the stone on the hill actually stands. On a smooth rock it is only a small part of its surface. Even the layman is clear that in order for such a heavy stone to remain in place for a long time it needs to have a sufficiently broad base. Here, however, 250 tons of stones stand on just 120 centimeters. Additionally not on the plain, but on a smooth slope, in the tilting 45 °! Still, he stays as if he were clamored to the rock.

The fact that the boulder in the surroundings is acting as if it were balancing on the edge, has caused fear in people in earlier times. In 1908, Madras Governor Baron Arthur Lawley concluded that the stone was too dangerous and could slip down, injure people and damage homes standing
near. He ordered the boulder to be removed from the place. The seventh elephants were forced to push the stone, but he did not move even the thrust! The Governor finally gave up.

Krsna's butter ball

According to ancient myths, King Narasimhavarman from the Pallava dynasty, who had ruled in South India during 630 to 668, attempted to relocate the stone. He regarded him as a stone from the sky, forbidding the sculptors to do anything to him. That is, the stone stood here
at least from 7. century. Today he is nicknamed Krsna Butter Ball according to the legend of Krishna, who, as a little child, loved the butter so often he secretly ate to eat his mother from the grocery store. However, this name is not original. The use began only from 1969, when it was as follows
named one Turistic Guide, which was tasked with presenting the sculptures in Mamallapuram by the then Indian Prime Minister Indians Gandhi. The original name of the stone, however, was Vaan Irai Kal, which in local Tamil language meant The stone of the heavenly god. Did the people then believe that God was demonstrating his power through this stone? Or did the giants or visitors from the universe, who used some advanced technology?

The hill on which butter ball stands, it is only about 91 meters high, but it was much larger. It is due to the fact that the mainland is still rising, as the sand from the nearby sea attracts it. The local man claims that the stone slide for children, which was ten thousand yards (10 feet) long ago, has almost buried the surrounding soil. Today it is not even 46 meters left and this process continues. The stones and hills are here they land at a pace of about three centimeters a year. Now imagine how the hill could be tall before 12000 flights! All the more, he wonders how he could get to such a height.
