Adam's Peak is a 2,243 m (7,359 ft) tall mountain in the middle of Sri Lanka.[1] It looks like a cone.
The Sri Pada (Śrī Pāda; Sinhala: ශ්රී පාද, "sacred footprint"), a 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) footprint inside the rock is on the peak, or top of the mountain. Many religions say that rock means different things to them. Buddhists say that the Sri Pada is Buddha's footprint. Hindus say that it is Shiva's footprint (its Tamil name, Sivanolipaathamalai, means "Mountain of Shiva's Light"). Some Christians and Muslims say that this Adam or St. Thomas's footprint.[2][3][4]
