Wax Museum, which is located near
Green Valley is a latest addition to the tourist attractions in Kodaikanal. Let us explore about this site in this article.

At the time of writing this article, in 2015 CE, the wax museums are rarely found in India. It might be very common in the foreign countries. However, it might take time for wax museums to be established in India. Hence, this wax museum in Kodaikanal is a unique attraction for Indians.

It is a very small museum which displays the wax idols such as the Crib, the Last Supper and some internationally known personalities. The highlight is the idols of Indian saints and personalities such as Adi Shankara, Sai Baba, Gandhiji, Lord Krishna with Gopikas, Indian musicians and Veerappan, the sandalwood smuggler. The museum cannot be compared to the wax museums in the Western countries or even countries like Hong Kong in terms of quality. Most of the images do not appear realistic. 

Happy travelling.
