Niches 36, 37 and 38 for the Great Compassionate Avalokiteśvara (大悲觀音菩薩), the southern cliff (南岩), Yuanjue Cave (圓覺洞) Anderl, Christoph; Yu, Sau Ling Wendy
Description
Niches 36, 37, and 38 are located in the southern cliff (南岩) of Yuanjue Cave Cliff Sculpture Scenic Area (圓覺洞摩崖造像風景區), Yujishan (雲居山), situated in the northeast of Anyue County (安岳縣), Ziyang City (資陽巿), Sichuan. The southern cliff contains fifty-eight niches (Niches 15 to 72) of rock carvings, mostly dating from the Tang Dynasty 唐 (618-907) to the Five Dynasties 五代 (907-960). Images of Niches 36, 37 and 38 are severely eroded. Niches 36 and 38 are situated on either side of Niche 37. Each contains a figure sitting on a throne in a Lalitasana position. The images in Niche 37 are unrecognizable; only traces of their bodies remain. Inscriptions in the niche indicate that it is a niche for the Great Compassionate Avalokiteśvara (da bei guanyin pusa 大悲觀音菩薩).
