Very close to Arjuna's Penance on the hill slope is a huge boulder. This massive rock is perched on the slope of the hill opposing the all laws of physics. This has been standing in this position for centuries now without any support. Area around the boulder is so slippery that kids use it as a natural slide.
For some reason it is famous by the name "Krishna's Butter Ball". I guess it resembles the shape of a butter ball and Lord Krishna loves it. Beyond this I have no other clue. But this natural balance is worth all the attention.
ye! i have been to this place and for a moment i thought what if it rolled when am getting clicked :D nature!
ReplyDeleteVery nice !Greetings Andrzej.
ReplyDeleteThis little boy has to be very strong to carry such a boulder :)))

ReplyDeleteThis one reminds me of Stonehenge though the rock’s shape is entirely different....I think it is the size compared to the human that drags up the memory. This is one mammoth rock. Great capture. Genie
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. We saw a rock out in Utah -- Balance Rock -- the was balanced on a pedestal in defiance of gravity.

This is one place i always like to play around! but the slope has been shorten now by the development of grass floor. Hope the kids enjoyed the slide.
ReplyDeleteNice picture! The person looks as if he is trying to roll it back up ;>)...even though it's been there for centuries, I might be just a wee bit afraid to stand there. (this reminds me a bit of some rock formations in our Southwest -- such as Canyonlands Natiohal Park.)
