Ajanta Cave 26: Main Hall

阿旃陀石窟第26窟

印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德

位於阿旃陀石窟(Ajanta Caves)西段。約開鑿於五世紀下半葉至六世紀上半葉。為阿旃陀石窟中規模較大的支提窟(caitya),亦是後期洞窟的代表,以精美的雕刻著名。從窟內銘文可知開窟者為僧人佛馱跋陀羅。
 該窟平面呈馬蹄形,寬11.52公尺,進深25.34公尺。窟外設門廊,窟門上方開有巨大的支提窗,壁面雕刻華麗。窟內大廳環列立柱二十七根,隔出大廳與側廊。列柱上雕栱眼壁,二者均布滿浮雕裝飾。拱券形窟頂仿木構。兩側廊壁面佛龕內雕有等身大小的佛像,多為三尊形式。右壁有釋迦牟尼降魔成道的浮雕,場面壯觀,刻劃生動。同壁的佛涅槃圖,主尊身長7.27公尺,造型為笈多王朝(約320~550)樣式,是印度現存最大的臥佛像。
 大廳後部設窣堵波,橢圓形覆鉢上浮雕飛天,平頭上之立傘稍有損壞。基座高大,正面開龕,龕內雕一尊倚坐佛,蓮台、獅子座、天神等圖像配置繁密。龕側雕有兩圈薄衣貼體的立佛。
