Nelum Pokuna

蓮花池

斯里蘭卡中北省波羅那魯瓦

譯名為Nelum Pokuna。位於斯里蘭卡中北省波羅那魯瓦古城(Polonnaruwa, North Central Province)伽爾寺(Gal Vihara)東北方不遠處,為當地數座蓮花狀浴池之代表作。據推測是波洛羅摩婆訶一世(Parakramabahu I,1153~1186在位)或尼散迦摩羅王(Nissanka Malla,約1187~1196在位)所建,以供附近的祇多林寺比丘使用。一九八二年隨波羅那魯瓦整體列為聯合國教科文組織世界文化遺產。
 浴池石砌,狀似盛開之蓮花。由上往下共計五層,呈階梯式,逐層縮小,深1.4公尺,頂層直徑達7.5公尺,底層為1.6公尺。浴池設計獨特,技藝精巧,反映出十二世紀波羅那魯瓦藝術創作之精粹。極盡裝飾僧房設施及配備,乃該國一貫的習俗,亦因此而為佛教築造了許多傑出的藝術遺產。
