Wat Phra Phutthabat (Thai: วัดพระพุทธบาท) is a Buddhist temple in Saraburi, Thailand.
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.
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.
Inside the case the footprint is covered with layers of gold leaf, coins and banknotes thrown by worshipers and visitors.
