Ellora Cave 6: Bhrkuti and Mahamayuri - Mahamayuri
愛羅拉石窟第6窟毗俱胝觀音及孔雀明妃像
印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德
位於愛羅拉石窟（Ellora Caves）第6窟過廳之左、右壁。第6窟約營建於七世紀，規模不大，裝飾簡樸。該窟大廳正壁後鑿過廳和佛龕，佛龕內供奉施說法印的佛倚坐像。過廳左、右壁設龕，分別雕孔雀明妃及毗俱胝觀音像。
毗俱胝觀音束髮高冠，左肩披獸皮，象徵苦行。左臂下垂，手握從地長出之蓮苞。右臂已缺，按同類塑像推測，應為手持念珠。毗俱胝意為蹙額，即皺眉、怒目之相，是對誹謗正法者所流露的嫌惡表情。
孔雀明妃佩耳璫、項圈、臂釧，下裳飾珠寶，右手執孔雀羽毛，左手持果，直立蓮台上，右側伴有開屏的孔雀。此為印度辟除毒蛇的守護神，是孔雀神格化的女神，在初期密教的陀羅尼信仰中備受重視。
