From Lord Ram’s exile to Sita’s abduction: Ayodhya’s new wax museum brings Ramayan to life

Built over 9,850 sq feet area on Chaudah Kosi Parikrama Marg and with a cost of Rs 6 crore, the museum has 50 life-like wax statues depicting Lord Ram, Sita, Lakshman, Bharat, Hanuman, Ravan, Vibhishan, among others.

The museum will also showcase different events from Ramayan.

Officials said the two-storey museum could accommodate 100 visitors at a time.

While the ground floor will showcase scenes from Lord Ram’s childhood to Sita swayamvar, the first floor will depict the exile of Lord Ram, Lanka Dahan as well as the final battle between Ram and Ravan.

On the first floor, visitors will also be able to experience 3D light effects to the episodes of exile, Sita’s abduction, Ravan’s defeat, or Hanuman burning Lanka.

The museum will also have a “special selfie point” beside the wax statue of Ram Lalla for the visitors.

“The fee for visitors will be kept at Rs 100 per person,” said an official.

The museum will be operated in collaboration with Ayodhya Municipal Corporation, with 12% of the revenue collection set aside for the local civic body.

The museum has been constructed by a Kerala-based company, Sunil Wax Museum, which claims to have established celebrity wax museums in Lonavala (Maharashtra) and Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) in the past.
