Lalbagh Monolithic Rock
The Lalbagh Rock has attracted geologists around the world. In 1916, Dr WF Smeeth of the Mysore Geological Department termed such rocks found in peninsular India as Peninsular Gneiss. The Rock is thought to be 3,000 million years old and has been the source for several research papers. It initially served as a quarry, but was later abandoned. In 1975, the government of India (GoI) declared the rock as a National Geological Monument. A plaque erected near the hillock says it’s preserved by the Govt. of India.
