The Phra Budda Bath Holy Footprint of Yasothon is located at a temple of the same name in Ban Nong Yang, Tambon Hua Muang, maha Chana Chai district, about 6 kms. from the district town to the west along Highway #2083, or some 47 kms. from the provincial town. The terrain around which the footprint is sited is a mould of white sand jutting up from the Chi river basin. It is considered an antiquity treasure of Yasothon. Nearby is another ancient relic, a Buddha statue of the Nak Prok posture made of laterite with a lap width of about 50 cm and a laterite slab inscribed in ancient scripts saying that they were brought over from Ayutthaya in 1378 B.E. Also inscribed are prayers paying homage to the Holy Footprint. Some letters are illegible because of age. During March-April, flocks of worshippers from the district and nearby communities converge here to pay homage to the Holy Footprint.
