The Indus Zone Tech Desk | Ayodhya, October 16, 2025 — The spiritual city of Ayodhya is preparing for yet another historic milestone. After the inauguration of the magnificent Ram Temple at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, the city is set to unveil the world’s first Ramayana-themed wax museum during the upcoming Deepotsav 2025 celebrations. The unique attraction will be inaugurated by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, marking a new chapter in the city’s cultural and devotional renaissance.
A Living Tribute to the Ramayana
Spread across 9,850 square feet, the Ramayana Wax Museum has been built at a cost of ₹6 crore and stands along the Chaudah Kosi Parikrama route, opposite Kashiram Colony. Designed in elegant South Indian architectural style, the two-storey museum houses 50 life-sized wax figures of prominent characters from the epic Ramayana — including Lord Ram, Goddess Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman, and Ravana.
Every statue has been intricately handcrafted to bring mythological moments to life. The detailed expressions, lifelike postures, and authentic costumes are designed to give visitors a sense of divine realism. The ground floor depicts episodes from Ram Lalla’s childhood and Sita’s Swayamvar, while the upper floor brings to life iconic scenes like Lanka Dahan and the Ram-Ravana war.
Visitors will be allowed entry in groups of 100 to maintain a serene and immersive environment, allowing them to absorb the divine atmosphere without crowding.
Spiritual Aura and Sensory Experience
The Ramayana Wax Museum has been designed to recreate the sacred ambience of the Treta Yuga, blending spirituality with modern technology. Inside, visitors will hear the gentle chanting of “Ram Tarak Mantra” and melodious Ram bhajans echoing through the hallways. The air is infused with divine fragrance, symbolizing purity and devotion.
A majestic wax statue of Lord Ganesha welcomes visitors at the entrance, signifying auspicious beginnings. To engage younger visitors, a special selfie zone has been created beside the statue of child Lord Ram — allowing families to capture their spiritual experience in the heart of Ayodhya.
Each element of the museum — from sound and scent to lighting and architecture — has been carefully designed to provide an emotional connection to the epic.
World-Class Infrastructure and Safety Features
The Ramayana Wax Museum has been built to international standards with modern amenities and stringent safety protocols. The entire facility is fully air-conditioned, maintaining a constant temperature of 22°C to ensure the wax figures remain preserved in perfect condition.
It features 24×7 CCTV monitoring, a dedicated security team, and a fire safety system equipped with four emergency exits for quick evacuation if needed. The museum’s infrastructure guarantees both visitor safety and preservation of the priceless exhibits.
Entry tickets are priced at ₹100 per person, keeping the experience affordable while ensuring regular maintenance and high-quality management.
Crafted by Renowned Sunil Wax Museum Team
The project has been executed by Sunil Wax Museum, a Kerala-based company famous for its previous creations in Lonavala and Thiruvananthapuram. Speaking about the Ayodhya project, museum founder Sunil said,
“This museum is a tribute to India’s cultural and spiritual legacy. Each figure has been designed to make visitors feel as though they’ve stepped into the world of the Ramayana itself.”
The company collaborated with artisans, sculptors, and architects from across India to achieve the perfect blend of realism, tradition, and devotion.
Boost to Ayodhya’s Tourism and Economy
The launch of the Ramayana Wax Museum is expected to significantly boost Ayodhya’s tourism sector, which has witnessed a massive surge since the inauguration of the Ram Temple earlier this year.
Municipal Commissioner Jayendra Kumar revealed that 12% of the museum’s revenue will be contributed directly to the Ayodhya Municipal Corporation for city development projects — ensuring that tourism benefits are reinvested into urban growth and local welfare.
Plans are also in motion to enhance the surrounding area with a dedicated parking zone, studio café, snack kiosks, and an entertainment corner, offering visitors a holistic cultural experience. These developments aim to transform the museum precinct into a vibrant destination blending devotion, learning, and recreation.
A Symbol of Cultural Unity
One of the most remarkable aspects of the Ramayana Wax Museum is its representation of India’s unity in diversity. Constructed in South Indian architectural design in the northern city of Ayodhya, it symbolizes the seamless fusion of India’s cultural traditions. The collaboration between northern and southern craftsmanship reflects the message of harmony and inclusivity that the Ramayana itself teaches.
Cultural experts believe that the museum will become a landmark attraction for global tourists, offering them a visual and spiritual journey through India’s greatest epic. The immersive technology and attention to detail are expected to make it one of the most unique religious art museums in the world.
Deepotsav 2025: A Celebration of Faith and Light
The inauguration of the Ramayana Wax Museum will coincide with Deepotsav 2025, Ayodhya’s annual festival of lights, which attracts millions of devotees and tourists from across the world. The event is known for setting records with its grand diya-lighting ceremonies, vibrant cultural programs, and spiritual fervor.
This year, as thousands of oil lamps illuminate the city, the unveiling of the Ramayana Wax Museum will add a new dimension to Ayodhya’s celebration — merging art, devotion, and technology in a single experience.
Local officials have expressed optimism that the museum will not only enrich the city’s cultural heritage but also create new opportunities for employment, handicraft promotion, and tourism-based entrepreneurship.
Conclusion: Ayodhya’s New Icon of Faith and Art
The world’s first Ramayana Wax Museum stands as a testament to India’s ability to blend tradition with innovation. From intricate craftsmanship to immersive storytelling, the project embodies Ayodhya’s evolution as a global spiritual hub.
As Deepotsav 2025 approaches, Ayodhya readies itself to welcome millions of visitors — not only to witness the divine glow of diyas but also to experience the living story of the Ramayana like never before.
