Although it bit off the tourist track, the temple is the site of a pilgrimage fair in January/February and March. We visited the temple during the fair held in January of 2002.
The footprint is located on a rocky outcropping about 25 kilometers north of Saraburi town. The footprint itself is covered by an ornate, jewel-like building called a mondop. The outside walls are covered in blue and green mirrored tiles, and gold leaf. We can think of only one other place where you will see this kind of religous structure, and that is in the temple of the emerald buddha in Bangkok. That mondop is only open one day a year, on 6 April, and houses images of the kings of the Chakri dynasty.
