These are two huge stones or boulders in Hampi, leaning on each other. These stones are known as the 2- sisters' stones or Akka - Chellella Raayi. Below these stones, there is a wide, vacant space. There is no specific historical story for these stones, but there is "mouth to mouth" story. It is not known how far this story is true. The story goes as follows -
Once, it seems that 2 sisters had come to visit Hampi. The visited Hampi and while returning they were tired and sat down for a while.At that time, the younger sister, it seems told her elder sister that it was better to stay in a Kompa (కొంప) i.e. a dwelling place, than Visit this Hampi. Immediately, they both were transformed into a rock. This is neither a story which can happen in a Punyabhoomi (పుణ్యభూమి) or a sacred place like this, nor it a possible story. The only intention for the formation of this story is that, one should not make fun of the historical incidents which happened in a Sacred place like Hampi.
