Adam'a Peak in the inside of the Sanctuary is distinguished as a consecrated place by all Sri lanka's religions. Muslims and a few Christians say the " Foot Print " in the rockatop the rust-red,2243m (7359ft) peak is the place Adam initially situated foot on earth in the wake of being banished from Eden. different Christians say it is the foot shaped impression of St Thomas, who carried Christianity to southern India in the first Century Ad, while to Hindus it is the characteristic of master Shiva. Buddhists, however who have secured the definitive "print" with an overwhelming solid duplicate, say it was made by the Buddha on his third visit to Sri lanka.
