Ellora Cave 10

愛羅拉石窟第10窟

印度

位於愛羅拉石窟(Ellora Caves)南段。約開鑿於七世紀,屬愛羅拉佛教洞窟中唯一的支提窟(caitya)。因其雕刻精緻的仿木構建築形制,故有毗首羯磨窟(Visvakarma Cave)之稱譽。
 窟前有寬敞之露天庭院,正左右三面雕出上下二層迴廊,左右兩側亦鑿兩層僧房。下層迴廊設列柱;上層迴廊雕欄楯,欄楯刻滿人物、動物及卷草紋浮雕。上層迴廊正面鑿有門、窗,門上方開圓形支提窗,楣額飾以三葉紋仿木構形式,兩側各有一組飛天。門左、右開龕,分別供奉觀音菩薩及文殊菩薩。像龕雕飾狀若小型殿堂,三角形龕楣浮雕精緻的多層塔。
 窟內平面呈馬蹄形,寬約13.1公尺,高約10.4公尺,進深約24.7公尺。拱券形窟頂鑿仿木構桁架;沿壁間排列二十八根列柱,形成三面迴廊。八角列柱高約4.3公尺,柱身素面無飾,其上額枋雕列龕,龕內均供奉坐佛和二脇侍像。
 窟後方的窣堵波高達8.2公尺,塔基較窟內列柱略高,覆鉢略扁,平頭作多層「亞」字形,上無相輪。窣堵波前雕有一佛二菩薩三尊像,佛像高大,倚坐於獅子座上,結轉法輪印,兩旁立脇侍菩薩。印度二世紀以前開鑿之支提窟僅有窣堵波,大乘佛教興起後,乃加置佛像於窣堵波前,為後來支提窟的常見形制。
