==Geography==
The mountain is located in the southern reaches of the Central Highlands, in the Ratnapura district of the [[Sabaragamuwa Province]] - lying about 20 km northeast of the city of [[Ratnapura]]. The surrounding region is largely comprised of forested hills, with no mountain of comparable size nearby.
Access to the mountain is generally provided by a bus that travels between Sripada and the nearby town of Maskeliya, to the northeast. The summit of the mountain, however, may only be reached on foot.

==Nomenclature==
Due to its historical significance to the various peoples that inhabit the region, the mountain, itself, is referred to by a variety of terms.
''Sri Pada'' is the term, derived from [[Sanskrit]], used by the [[Sinhalese people]] in a religious context. This name is also understood in [[Pali|Pāli]], and may be translated roughly as "the sacred foot". It refers to the footprint-shaped mark at the summit, which is believed by [[Buddhism|Buddhists]] to be that of the [[Gautama Buddha|Buddha]]. Other traditions assert that it is the footprint of [[Adam]], left by his first entrance into the world.
''Shivanolipatha Malai'' and ''Shiva padam'' are two [[Tamil language|Tamil]] names holding similar meanings, but both refer to the footprint as being that of the [[Hindu]] deity [[Shiva]] rather than that of the Buddha.
The [[Sinhalese language|Sinhala]] name of the mountain is ''Samanalakanda'', which refers either to the deity Saman, who is said to live upon the mountain, or to the butterflies (''samanalayā'') that frequent the mountain during their annual migrations to the region.
Other local and historic names include ''Ratnagiri'' ("jewelled hill"), ''Samantakuta'' ("surrounded by peaks"), ''Svargarohanam'' ("the climb to heaven"), ''Mount Rohana'' and other variations on the root ''Rohana''.

==The Sacred Mountain==
It is revered as a holy site by [[Buddhism|Buddhists]], [[Hinduism|Hindus]], and to a lesser extent by [[Jews]], [[Islam|Muslims]] and [[Christianity|Christians]]. It has specific qualities that cause it to stand out and be noticed; including its dominant and outstanding profile, and the boulder at the peak that contains an indentation resembling a footprint. As the 1910, [[Encyclopædia Britannica]] notes<ref name ="EB1911">{{cite book|last=Chisolm|first=Hugh|title=The Encyclopædia Britannica (Vol. 5)|url = http://books.google.com/books?id=KjUEAAAAYAAJ| publisher=University press|year=1910|pages=p. 778}}</ref>
<blockquote>
For a long period Adam's Peak was supposed to be the highest mountain in Ceylon, but actual survey makes it only 7353 ft. above sea-level. This elevation is chiefly remarkable as the resort of pilgrims from all parts of the East. The hollow in the lofty rock that crowns the summit is said by the [[Hinduism|Brahmans]] to be the footstep of [[Siva]], by the [[Buddhist]]s of [[Gautama Buddha|Buddha]], by the [[Islam|Muslims]] of [[Adam]], whilst the Portuguese Christians were divided between the conflicting claims of [[St Thomas]] and the eunuch of Candace, queen of Ethiopia. The footstep is covered by a handsome roof, and is guarded by the priests of a rich monastery half-way up the mountain, who maintain a shrine on the summit of the peak.
</blockquote>
It is an important pilgrimage site, especially for Hindus and Buddhists. Pilgrims walk up the mountain, following a variety of routes up thousands of steps. The journey takes several hours at least. The peak [[pilgrimage]] season is in April, and the goal is to be on top of the mountain at sunrise, when the distinctive shape of the mountain casts a triangular shadow on the surrounding plain and can be seen to move quickly downward as the sun rises.
Climbing at night can be a remarkable experience, with the lights of the path leading up and into the stars overhead. There are rest stops along the way.
===Legends===
The mountain can only be scaled from December to May. During other months it is hard to climb the mountain due to very heavy rain, extreme wind, and thick mist. It is almost impossible to hike there through lesser known jungle tracks because of flooding rivers and animals.
Buddhists say that the footprint mark is the left foot of the Buddha, left behind as he strode away, the right footprint being (depending on legend) in [[Amphoe Phra Phutthabat]], [[Saraburi Province]], located about 150 kilometres northeast of [[Bangkok]], [[Thailand]]. This place is called in Thai [[Phra Bat]] or [[Phra Phutthabat]].
Tamil Hindus think it is the footprint of [[Shiva]].
Muslims and Christians in Sri Lanka ascribe it to where [[Adam]], the first Ancestor, set foot as he was exiled from the Garden of Eden. Sometimes, Christians ascribe it to [[Thomas (Apostle)|Saint Thomas]] as well. The legends of Adam are connected to the idea that Sri Lanka was the original [[Garden of Eden|Eden]]. The legends of Saint Thomas are connected to his status as the ''Apostle of India,'' though these are usually placed in adjacent peninsular India.
A shrine to Saman, a Buddhist "deity" (People who have done yeoman service to regions are deified by Sri Lankan Buddhists) charged with protecting the mountain top, can be found near the footprint.
==Other information==
This mountain played a role in [[Arthur C. Clarke]]'s science fiction novel ''[[The Fountains of Paradise]]''.
This mountain also produces a very high grade white tea, known as Sri Pada White Tea. This white tea is especially rare and only 30 kilograms are made on a weekly basis because only the best fresh shoots are selected and then withered and sun dried.
This mountain is also the setting and title of the [[Pahan Silu]] song '''Siripada''' (2007).
