Overview
About มณฑปรอยพระพุทธบาทจำลอง วัดญาณสังวราราม
Phra Maha Mondop Phutthabat is the Buddha-footprint pavilion on Khao Kaew Hill within Wat Yanasangwararam. The temple describes a 33-metre-high structure built in homage to King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit. A pair of Buddha footprints with 108 auspicious designs is enshrined inside. The approach has Naga balustrades and a substantial staircase. The temple’s own architectural guide counts 200 steps. Check that the pavilion and approach are open on the day, and ask the monastery about access arrangements if stairs are difficult for your group.
Inside and around the pavilion
Footprints and disciples
The footprints carry 108 auspicious designs and are surrounded by depictions of the Buddha’s 80 great disciples. Treat the interior as a worship space and follow instructions about shoes and photography.
Mosaics and images
The temple says the golden mosaics were reused from the Phra Si Rattana Chedi at Bangkok’s Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Buddha images stand at the four corners of the mondop.
