What does that really mean?

Rain. That’s just sandstone that’s been weathered, and then somebody’s come along and carved various doors and windows into it. If those are even real images and not aislop.

Weathering/erosion.
Just because it looks like they might have melted, doesn’t mean they did. It’s a common mistake for people to see things that “look like” other things, and assume that there’s some connection when there isn’t.
If something HAD actually liquified the stone there would be plenty of evidence to indicate that beyond visual appearance. We would know if that happened.
Over time, Limestone, which is calcium carbonate from fossil seashells, and carbonic acid in rain (natural CO2) chemically react and dissolve calcium ions into water solutionb which are either transported away by flow action or they “calcine” the local rock which is to embed and coat the extra calcium ions into the pores and onto the surface of the rock creating a distinctly melted look. The process is called “calcination”.
