    This document discusses Buddha footprints, which are imprints of the Buddha's feet found in stone or made artificially. Many natural footprints are acknowledged to not actually be from the Buddha but are replicas or representations that serve as relics and early symbolic representations of the Buddha. The footprints can be found at temple entrances and contain symbols like the Dharmacakra wheel and Triratna.

    Buddha footprint

    Footprint of Buddha with


    Dharmacakra and Triratna, 1st
    century, Gandhāra.

    Buddha footprint at entrance of


    the Seema Malaka temple.

    The footprint of the Buddha is an imprint of


    Gautama Buddha's foot or both feet. There are
    two forms: natural, as found in stone or rock,
    and those made artificially.[1]:301 Many of the
    "natural" ones are acknowledged not to be
    genuine footprints of the Buddha, but rather
    replicas or representations of them, which can
    be considered cetiya (Buddhist relics) and also
    an early aniconic and symbolic representation
    of the Buddha.[2]
