On the occasion of this year’s Deepotsav, Ayodhya is set to unveil a magnificent Wax Museum. Located on the Parikrama Path of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, the 10,000 sq. ft. museum will soon open its doors to devotees and tourists, offering a unique cultural and historical experience. Nearly ₹7.5 crore has already been invested in the project.
The museum will feature wax statues of nearly 50 prominent characters from the Ramayana, including Lord Shri Ram, Mata Sita, Lakshman, Lord Hanuman, Sugriv, and Jatayu. Each statue is being meticulously designed with lifelike expressions, detailed costumes, and historical authenticity.

Iconic episodes such as the Ram-Ravan battle, Sita’s abduction, Hanuman’s journey to Lanka, and the construction of the Ram Setu will also be recreated through a fusion of wax artistry and modern technology. Audio-visual effects and interactive displays will enhance the experience, making it especially engaging for children and youth.

A Maharashtra-based organization, in collaboration with experts from Kerala, is crafting the statues to ensure vivid and authentic depictions of the epic.
The Uttar Pradesh government has undertaken several ambitious projects to place Ayodhya firmly on the global tourism map. With the completion of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, the number of devotees and tourists visiting the city has surged. Officials believe that the Wax Museum will not only strengthen Ayodhya’s appeal as a spiritual destination but also showcase the timeless values of the Ramayana and Indian culture on the world stage.
Municipal Commissioner Jayendra Kumar said on Sunday that construction of the museum is progressing rapidly and is being closely monitored to ensure timely completion. The project is being executed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, similar to the Bhool Bhulaiya project in Amaniganj.
Divisional Commissioner Rajesh Kumar noted that the Wax Museum will add a new dimension to Ayodhya’s cultural heritage. He further highlighted that, along with this project, road widening, beautification of the Saryu ghats, and other infrastructure works are also underway to make Ayodhya a world-class religious and cultural centre.
Every year during Deepotsav, millions of lamps illuminate Ayodhya, a tradition that has earned the city global acclaim and world records. With the inauguration of the Wax Museum, Deepotsav 2025 is expected to be even more memorable.
