What travelers say:

The Great Grottoes, also known as the Seven-Ye Grottoes, were built in 1952 at the same time as the Kabaye Big Buddha Tower, located in the same group of buildings, and was built after the first Buddhist gathering place in India. The large grotto has 6 entrances, symbolizing the sixth large gathering, the front door main entrance and exit on both sides of the wall is made of jade jade, feeling extraordinary value and sincerity; the grotto is 139 meters long, 110 meters wide, and the interior is like a basketball court auditorium, 67 meters long and 43 meters wide. At the sixth Buddhist assembly in Yangon, Myanmar, in 1954, 2,500 monks gathered here to retell the Buddha's teachings in Bali, complete with Tipitaka. Note: The first Buddhist assembly was held within months of Buddha's entry into Pakrakah. The monks recited, edited and verified all Buddhist scriptures, namely, the Sanzang.
