Vishnupad Temple is a Hindu temple in Gaya, Bihar, dedicated to Vishnu. Located on the banks of Phalgu river, the temple is believed to be built upon the site where Vishnu had purportedly killed the demon Gayasura and/or eternally pinned him underground. The temple features a 40-cm footprint purported to be of Vishnu incised into a block of basalt, known as Dharmasila which was retained when the deity stepped on Gayasura's chest before pinning him underground.
