Ajanta Cave 2: Life of the Buddha - Birth of Prince Siddhartha
阿旃陀石窟第2窟佛傳圖之誕生
印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德
位於阿旃陀石窟（Ajanta Caves）第2窟大廳右壁。此佛傳圖將佛陀的一生畫於一個畫面之中，人物眾多，結構複雜。此為佛陀誕生的部分，畫面右側摩耶夫人一手抬起，攀扶娑羅樹枝，樹枝為金色，並畫成金鏈子狀。摩耶夫人頭戴寶冠，髮髻綰起，身佩項圈，兩條長瓔珞相交於胸前，手戴臂釧、腕釧，腰部纖細。其左側二女侍立，其中一身面向摩耶夫人，神情關注。
畫面左側為大梵天和帝釋天懷抱新生的悉達多太子。大梵天頭戴高冠，三目，耳飾繁縟的耳環。一手抱太子，一手持拂塵，昂首注視摩耶夫人。帝釋天面龐渾圓莊嚴，俯首與太子對視。幼小的太子雙手置於身側，表情沉穩。大梵天身側的一侍者仰首望天。整體畫面構圖錯雜，以金黃色為主調，單純中富有變化，予人富麗之感。
