In Buddhism, pāda is the term for a Buddha footprint. Gautama Buddha's footprints symbolized his presence, and his image and iconography developed several centuries after he had died. There are also several landmarks venerated as footprints (pāda, also pādamudrā) of Hindu deities. For example, Si Pada on Adam's Peak is a rock formation in Sri Lanka venerated as the footprint of Buddha in Buddhist tradition, the footprint of Shiva in Hinduism, and the footprint of Adam in Muslim tradition.
