Vishnupad Temple is another famous piece of architecture in Gaya that is of prime religious significance for Hindus. As the name suggests, the temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is marked by his footprint, which is also known as Dharmasila. Located on the banks of the Falgu River, the temple’s construction time is unknown but legend has it that Lord Rama visited here once with his wife Goddess Sita.

Vishnupad Mandir Gaya is located on the bank of river Falgu and has footprint of Vishnu incised into a block of basalt. People believe that Lord Vishnu killed Gayasur by placing his foot on Gayasur’s chest.

The old temple of Vishnupad was later renovated by the queen of Indore, Devi Ahilyabai in eighteenth century. While Hindus claim that footprints in Vishunpad temple are of Lord Vishnu, Buddhists consider them the footprints of Lord Buddha. The temple is nevertheless a major pilgrim destination. The name of Gaya is based on the myth of demon Gayasur who Lord Vishnu had killed in a dual.

The place is so sacred for Hindus that even Lord Ram had performed Pindadanam here for his ancestors. Legend says that Lord Ram had come to Gaya to pay homage to his ancestors and Sita had accompanied him on his way. Gaya is equally important for Buddhists as this was the place where Lord Buddha preached the Fire Sermon i.e. Adittapariyaya Sutta to around 1000 agriculture workers who were fire-worshipers. The influence of Buddha’s discourse was so enormous that all of them converted to Buddhism.
