Went there years ago...riding in on your horse you have no idea what to expect and then you exit the cavern and see the enormous edifice. Definitely awe inspiring!
Here's a photo w/people in it, for perspective.

Been there a couple of times and it is incredible. Only disappointment was not being able to stay till evening when the light for photographs would have been perfect.
