阿旃陀石窟第2窟

印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德

位於阿旃陀石窟(Ajanta Caves)東段。開鑿於六世紀上半葉。洞窟形制與第1窟大致相同,但規模較小,主要有門廊、大廳、神龕、過廳及佛龕。門廊寬14.1公尺,進深2.36公尺,兩端設有龕室。大廳寬14.73公尺,進深14.5公尺,內有十二根列柱環繞,左右兩壁各鑿五間僧房,正壁兩側鑿神龕,中央鑿過廳,後方為佛龕。正壁左側龕內主尊為半支迦及訶利帝母像,右側龕內則供奉一對男女藥叉。過廳後方之佛龕寬4.27公尺,進深3.35公尺,內供奉佛坐像。佛龕和神龕的雕像皆殘留彩繪痕跡,顯然原以妝彩加強細節的表現。
 該窟除了繁複精緻的雕飾之外,還有深具藝術價值的壁畫。門廊、大廳及各龕之天花藻井以蓮花、花草紋樣、幾何圖形、飛天、鵝或神獸等組成美麗的圖案。窟內、外壁面原布滿彩繪,部分已剝落,現遺存的畫面亦相當可觀,其中包括以佛傳和佛本生故事為題材的大型壁畫,可辨識的有比豆梨賢者本生、鵝王本生、相師占夢、太子降誕、兜率內院等,另有大幅的千佛圖、佛菩薩、供養天人像等,可為後世提供了珍貴的圖像資料。
