Standing with majesty on the rocky banks of the Phalgu River, Vishnupad Temple houses the venerable 40 cm sacred footprint of Lord Vishnu (*Vishnupada*), etched permanently into solid basalt rock during the vanquishing of Gayasura. Surrounded by silver-plated sanctums and constructed in grey granite by the revered Queen Ahilyabai Holkar in 1787, this is the prime nucleus for all Vaishnavite pilgrims seeking eternal blessings.
