Wat Phra Phutthabat is a first-class royal temple constructed in 1624 CE during the reign of King Songtham (1610/1611-1628 CE) of Ayutthaya. The important place of worship here is the “Lord Buddha’s Footprint” on a stone slab on Suwan Banphot Hill or Satchaphantha Khiri Hill.
The footprint was a hollow ‘imprint’ in the rock’s surface. The cavity did not show any auspicious marks, according to eyewitnesses, contrary to the legend of its discovery. The imprint measures 21 inches in width, 60 inches in length, and 11 inches in depth. The king commanded a golden cover or replica of the footprint, with 108 auspicious characteristics, to be placed over the hollow, and a temporary mandapa (mondop) to be built to protect the footprint. The mandapa has undergone several refurbishments over time.
