Guntupalli Caves

貢都帕爾利石窟

印度安得拉邦西哥達瓦里

譯名為Guntupalli Caves。位於印度安得拉邦西哥達瓦里縣艾盧魯(Eluru, West Godavari, Andhra Pradesh)約40公里處。約開鑿於西元前三世紀,年代早於馬哈拉施特拉邦的阿旃陀石窟和愛羅拉石窟,為早期印度石窟的典範之一。
 該石窟群位於小山丘之岩壁上,包括一座支提窟(caitya)及大、小兩座毗訶羅窟(vihara),丘頂有逾六十座大小不等的奉獻塔。支提窟入口處浮雕出仿木結構的拱形屋檐及檐下椽木。窟內有殘存的弧形牆將洞窟隔成前、後室;方形前室較淺,圓形後室置覆鉢石塔,直徑5.5公尺。窟頂為仿木結構穹窿頂,刻有放射狀梁架。據考證這種洞窟形制應為後來馬蹄形支提窟的前身。
