丁穹拉康石窟

西藏日土

譯名為bde mchog lha khang gyi rdo phug。位於西藏自治區阿里地區日土縣烏江鄉。約開鑿於十一至十二世紀。開鑿在高約10公尺的砂礫崖面上。現僅發現一個洞窟,坐東朝西,是目前所知西藏西部最北端的石窟。
 洞窟平面方形,穹窿頂。寬3.4公尺,高3公尺,進深3.5公尺。窟內塑像已不存,尚殘存部分壁畫。窟頂中央繪蓮花。北、東、南壁分別繪圖,分上下層。上層曼荼羅構圖簡單,下層繪佛寶供物與弟子禮佛聽法的場景。弟子一列八人,皆面朝同一方向,膚色各異,服飾除顏色不同外,樣式均統一;長髮披肩,戴寬沿帽,著三角翻領長袍,裙邊鑲深色寬邊,雙手藏於袖內,盤坐於地。
 洞口兩側壁畫模糊,可辨識有歌舞場面及藏傳佛教題材的壁畫。舞者三人一排,身著長袍,足蹬長靴,舉臂舞蹈。另洞口下方,可見地獄變相,受刑人或被刀刺,或被火烤。地獄變相左側有裸身人像,瘦骨嶙峋,面貌痛苦猙獰,可能表現餓鬼道,但確切意涵仍待考證。
 該石窟地處絲路南線,為研究西藏石窟的起源及發展,提供了珍貴的線索,具重要的歷史價值。
