Aurangabad Cave 2

奧蘭加巴德石窟第2窟

印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德

位於奧蘭加巴德石窟(Aurangabad Caves)西區。約開鑿於六世紀下半葉。為形制獨特的毗訶羅窟(vihara);大廳不設小室,一般開鑿於大廳後部的佛龕被改置於大廳內部,形成可環佛龕繞行的迴廊。大廳壁面鑿刻多個淺龕,浮雕佛菩薩像。
 大廳內佛龕占據大廳的大部分空間。龕門上為雕刻精緻的小佛龕;門左右兩側對稱鑿刻高大的高浮雕菩薩像,頭戴巍峨寶冠,以三屈姿站立,持長莖蓮花,蓮上有結禪定印的阿彌陀佛坐像,其上為飛天。菩薩外側立有身形較小的龍王,均帶飾有五龍頭之頭光,兩手一上一下,扶持蓮莖;內側為蹲踞於浮雕門柱下的藥叉。佛龕內供奉巨大的佛倚坐像,手作轉法輪印,足踏蓮台。佛龕內部空間狹小,推測當時應以在佛龕外右繞的形式禮拜。這種形制在毗訶羅窟中不常見,此窟是一個特例。
