However, the mazhabha Grottoes have become one of the most dilapidated Grottoes in the whole kuci grottoes. Among the 44 caves that have been numbered, No. 24, No. 141 and No. 42 have all collapsed. In the other 9 caves, because they are so damaged, only one by one can be seen, and it is impossible to distinguish the shape of the caves.
