Lord Shiva never takes Avatars, He is called Ayonija, who never stays in he womb.
However there are a number of instances when He appeared and vanished.
I had assumed, such being the case there could be no footprints of Lord Shiva as such.
How wrong could I be?
There are a number of places where it is believed that Lord Shiva had left His foot prints, mostly on Rocks.
One is in Sri Lanka, which, as usual named as Adam’s feet by the Westerners!
Another one is in Thiruvannamalai,Tamil Nadu.
Some locations where Lord Shiva’s footprints are found are here in Photos.
