Abhayagiri Vihara Kuttam Pokuna (detail)
無畏山寺雙子池
斯里蘭卡中北省阿努拉德普勒
譯名為Abhayagiri Vihara Kuttam Pokuna。位於斯里蘭卡中北省阿努拉德普勒古城（Anuradhapura, North Central Province）無畏山寺。建於六至八世紀，正值該寺全盛時期，為當時寺院浴池之經典傑作。五世紀中國高僧法顯到此參訪時，曾記載有五千位各國僧侶在此學習，足見該寺為了應大眾所需而築建此池。一九八二年隨阿努拉德普勒古城整體列為聯合國教科文組織世界文化遺產。
雙子池為兩個大小成列的長方形浴池。大、小二池寬相等，大池比小池長約12公尺。雙池皆以磨光的花崗石厚片砌成，三邊設有階梯直達池底，階梯入口各有一對圓壺狀裝飾。池水取自鄰近的蓄水池，先以精心設計的兩層濾盆過濾，再透過龍頭流入小池後導入大池，此設計被譽為古代錫蘭（今斯里蘭卡）人建築及藝術的傑作。
