Grand Bassin, French means "big basin", located between the mountains in the south of Maodao, 550 meters above sea level, made by volcanic eruptions, is the largest natural lake in Maodao. According to legend, in 1897, two supreme Hindu monks claimed to have seen the "Great Basin" in the southern part of Mao Island springing out of large lakes and becoming a branch of the "Ganges" of India's holy water. Once news spread, it spread rapidly and caused a stir among Hindu folk. The following year, several pilgrims came to this place to worship and take the lake to worship the god Shiva. Since then, the pilgrimage has become an important custom for the Hindus of Maodao, especially during the Shiva Festival during the month of 2-3 every year, the pilgrims will walk barefoot from home to this pilgrimage, and the celebration ceremony is also quite spectacular.

Because this is a religious holy place, the roads to the holy water lake are beautifully built, and they are undulating with the heights of the terrain. Since Hinduism is polytheistic, you can also see the worship of other shrines along the way. Enter the Holy Water Lake, at the entrance are two 108-foot statues, Shiva and Durga, one of the most important male gods and goddesses in Hinduism. In the distance of the holy water lake, there is a statue of the Lord of the Romo, taller than the mountain, which can only be seen in good weather, and hidden in fog when the weather is bad. There are four statues of gods in the lake, namely the Hindu god Ramah (Shiva), the god wife Siddhartha (control of the lake), the son of Ramah (control of wisdom) and the incarnation of the god of war in Indian mythology Hanuman (monkey god - the prototype of the Sun Wukong in China's travels to the west). There is also a statue of Shiva god Nandi cattle, which is colorful and attracts tourists to take pictures.
