Wat Phra Phutthabat in Saraburi - Temple of Buddha’s Footprint - วัดพระพุทธบาท 1st Class Temple
Wat Phra Phutthabat วัดพระพุทธบาท is a Buddhist temple in Saraburi, Thailand. It is among the best Buddhist temples in Thailand. Its name means "temple of Buddha's footprint", because it contains a natural depression believed to be a footprint of the Buddha.
Phra Phutthabat temple was built in 1624 by King Songtham of Ayutthaya, after a hunter named Pram Bun found a large depression in the stone, resembling a huge footprint, near Suwan Banpot Hill or Satchaphanthakhiri Hill. The hunter reported his find to the king, who ordered workers to build a temporary mondop to cover the footprint; this later became the temple.
The Bunnoowaat sutra tells of the flight of the Buddha to the peak of Mount Suwanbanphot, and of how he left his footprints. It is believed there are five footprints of the Buddha in different places including Phra Phutthabat temple. Some believe that worshiping the footprints, sprinkling water, or placing gold leaf on them will lead to the forgiveness of sin, success in life, or eternal happiness.
The temple is one of the first class temples in Thailand so it is one of the top temples in the country. The footprint, museum and temple buildings are very interesting to see and well worth a stop to see them yourself.
