Introduction

India's history, courting back to 3200 BC has been prejudicedsignificantly by the nature, growth, and usage of stones and other structural materials. The different dimensions of stones have also left bottomlesstracks on the architectural heritage of the nation. Uncountable temples, forts, and strongholds of Ancient Indian Civilization have been imprinted out of locally obtainablestones. Steppingstones are still the backbones of civil construction in India, with stones being used lengthily in community buildings, hotels, and temples. It is increasingly being used in homes, with the use of stones now all-pervading amongst the rising middle class of India.

The rocks are the metaphorical rock formation of under high pressure and heat of the sand. The success of the profitable stone industry solely is contingent upon defects in rock/stone. Natural defects in decorative rock deposits unfavorably affect the quality of rock deposits. Detection of natural defects in the ornamental and dimensional stone industry playsa vital role in the quality valuation.Stones has handled by persons for several years for a physicaltool making, construction, carving, and decoration.

Mamallapuram

Mamallapuram was uniqueto two chief port cities by the 7th century within the Pallava kingdom. The town was called after Pallava king Narasimhavarman I, who was also notorious as Mahamalla. Along with financial prosperity, it became anepicenter of a collection of battle monuments carved out of mainstay. These are old-fashioned to the 7th and 8th eras: rathas, mandapas, giant open-air rock intermissions such as the famousAncestry of the Ganges, and the Shore Shrinekeen to Shiva, Durga, Vishnu, Krishna, and others.

The stone is aroundsix meters tall and five meters extensive and reflectsabout 250 tons. It opinions onaround 1.2-meter (4 ft)

Thewhispered that the Pallava king Mannar Narasimhavarman similarlyto made try to move but he failed round to traffic the rock. The unique name of the rock is “Vaan Irai Kal”, interpreted by the Atlas Obscura, deciphers from Tamil as "Rock of Atmosphere God". Affording to the thought of Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna repeatedlytooklardsince his mother's lard handi; this mightrequireran to the namesake of the rock. In 1969, a tour-guide is supposed to praise its present name, Krishna's Butterball, to Indira Gandhi who remained on a journey of the city.

The giant rocklooks to be cold in its roll down the mound it sits on, and no one is moderately sure why. The boulder is likely a freezing erratic that got shipwrecked in anunforeseen position on the hill, but local legend has an alternative version of the story. According to Hindu folklore, when the countless god Krishna was just a baby, he was fond of theft butter. Following this tradition, the big orange stone has been compared to a giant dollop of stole butter that the god released.The actual name is “Vaan Irai Kal”, which interprets to Sky God's Stone, and according to one basis, the livelier name was given to the rock by a local trip guide. However it got its sort of silly designation, it stuck.Strengthening the stone's oddly balanced location, the greasy stone slope is used by local broods as a slide. Today Krishna's Butter Ball is a current tourist attraction. Visitors to the site love to get overdue the shingle and try to push it dejected the hill. So far no anthropoid power has been able to budge the unhealthyrock.

Conclusion

In this paper the investigatorillustrious the different types of rocks on different Stone Age. The Mamallapuram stone is artificially fixed in the ruler. At the same time, the tirumayam fort rock isnaturally formed because there is no evidence to the production of rock and the height of the forts in more than 100m and there is no need to fix in the particular area of the fort.
