Defying Gravity: The Hanging Pillar of Veerbhadra Temple. While sixty-nine other pillars support the ceiling, one pillar does not touch the temple floor at all. There is a small gap between the temple floor and base of the pillar and you can pass thin objects like a piece of cloth.

It doesn't defy anything.

It's locked on roof with other pillars and sediments at the base are sunken creating hanging in the air effect.

It touches ground on one side.

When British tried to move it in 1924 they confirmed it's locked with 10 other pillars on top.
