With wax statues, cakes, city welcomes Obama in style

Faces of Obama and Modi have been made in front while the Red Fort at the back, and everything is edible. Harinder Kukreja, owner of Hot Breads, said, “This is our way to welcome the US President, and we want transfer of technology to India so that ‘Make in India’ slogan can be true.”

Parbhakar is a retired bank employee. So far, he has made 52 wax statues of various public figures; 30 out of them can be found in his newly opened museum in Pavillion Mall.

Parbhakar had made Obama’s statue even before as well, but someone from Dubai purchased it. Therefore, he made it afresh. Modi’s statue was made last year and it was unveiled in his old museum at Bhamian Kalan village a day after the BJP got a clear mandate in the Lok Sabha polls. Now both the statues have been placed together in the museum with a background of national flags of both countries.

Parbhakar said, “This is my way to welcome the US President, and enjoy the moment that the US President has come to India on Republic Day function.” He added that he had spent around Rs 2.5 lakh each on these statues.

Among the prominent public figures whose statues can be seen in his museum are former prime minister Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Dharminder and Kalpana Chawla.
