when material is no match for devotion

This footprint is created by countless pilgrims doing chaktsal on the wooden floor in front of this temple. Pilgrims will show devotion through prostration (chaktsal), which follows a sequence: placing your hands in a namaste (prayer-like) position, touching your forehead, throat and heart, getting down into a half-prostration and then lying flat out on the ground with arms outstretched.

Hard to believe? No surprise?
I do not know what to say.
But the photo is very good.
