Approximately one million Nahdliyyins, as NU followers, are called to have enjoyed one of NU's biggest event cultural and ceremonial events for five day from November 22^nd until November 27^th 1999. The majority of participants came from Java, but many others came from as far away as Sumatera, Sulawesi, Kalimantan and Maluku.
