Mister P and Miss V  Stone in Parat Caves

Prince is the father of Maja Agung Syech Syech Muhammad Ahmad and his wife was bleeding from China, while the Prince is the brother of Prince Sumenda Maja Agung.

Prince and Prince Kanoman Kasepuhan it by his father, Prince Maja Agung was assigned to spread the religion of Islam and the Great Prince Maja believe kapada her two children because they have the magic power of ten amulets called "Konca Kaliman". In his journey Kasepuhan Prince (Syech Ahmad) and Prince Kanoman (Syech Muhammad) follow the direction of angina, finally arrived in the land of Java, Pangandaran. After her two children to travel, his father, Syech Maja Agung not received word from them, because of missed and his desire to know the prince's second existence. Then Syech maja General asked the help of Prince King Sumenda to look for it

On the instructions of the Almighty, and finally Prince Prince Kanoman Kasepuhan can be found by his uncle's (Prince King Sumenda) and then notify her sister, Maja Agung Syech soon followed, and the two princes (his son) is located in the Cave.
 

Not told where and how ultimately from the Princes disseminator of religion Islam is, but visitors can find 2 pieces of the tomb (but not grave) at the mouth of the Cave of the Prince Kasepuahn Parat (Syech Ahmad) and Prince Kanoman (Syech Muhammad) who deliberately made ​​people Pangandaran that time, who never accepted his teachings in order to commemorate the two peers that they knew nothing about her disappearance.

In addition to the second petilasan Syech propagator of Islam was, in the Cave Parat there are a lot of stalactite and stalagmite that was beautiful if you just caught. Inside the cave there is a wide range of Parat this story that maybe you could believe or even none at all. ther are stalactites called  a vital tool for both males (mister P) and for female (Miss V). Because it is the shape and testur stalactites that resembles a vital tool. According to the story (myth) can you believe it or not if the male visitors to touch and even hug  stalactites mister P,  will be more big / large and increasing vitality. As for female visitors when touching or hugging, digging holes that resemble stone with stalactites stalactites miss V,  the holder of a stone.

It will give great assurance to prospective partners. But if visitor both wife and husband accidentally  together to touch even embrace stalactites mister P and Miss V, if you  believe the marriage wii be lasting. Both stone stalactites that have circulated widely in the community. So that this uniqueness has ever aired on the TV show .

Besides the uniqueness of stalactites mister P and miss V  before, there are also others in  Parat Caves uniqueness of this stone is a request or desire. Where the application is similar to the stone stupa Borobudur temple, and the top left there is a hole in the hole there is a small stone of a marble. According to myth, story, superstition developed in the community Pangandaran, if the visitors dug or put their hands and touched a small stone of a marble in the top stupa (stone requests), and immediately closed her eyes as she pleaded with the Almighty, any petition that will immediately answered.

One of the visitors tried to hit the stalactite that was true for both sound very similar to the Rampak drums echoed with the sound of a gong in the Cave. It's uniqueness is beyond measure, the rock can sound like a really beaten Rampak drums.

Another uniqueness in Parat Cave is the presence of stalactite and stalagmite if we highlight the sort of torch lighting, the stone stalactite and stalagmite will shine like a diamond contains. But it happened because of calcification in the stone cave was a mix between the water that comes from the root of the tree with minerals from the air from the sea.
