Fashioned on the lines of UK’s Madame Tussauds, a Wax artist from
Kerala Sunil Kandalloor's Wax Museum at Lonavala
has Life-like Wax Statues of Shirdi Sai Baba, Satya Sai Baba, Mother
Teresa and other Celebrities too.

Kandalloor displayed his first Wax Statue, which was Lord Krishna’s
bust for Guruvayur Temple Museum in Kerala.

The Eyes of the artefacts are made of glass and chemicals but the
Eyebrows, Hair & Eyelashes are made of real human Hair,
which he sources from Temples like Tirupati Balaji more often instead
of beauty salons.
The exact shade of the Skin is reached at with deftly mixed tempera
colours. The final touch comes from the Clothes & the Shoes, usually
straight out of the subject’s personal wardrobe.

Each wax statue is made of fibre and close to 35 kgs of wax, among
other things and costs close to Rs 1 lakh.
The museum also has tailors hired to design the clothes for the
statuette. Kandalloor can make one Wax image in a month’s time and
can disintegrate and join it back in 10 minutes.
Photography is allowed standing next to any of the wax sculptures.

then gOd created Man thinking that Man might,
in the cOurse of time, Perfect Himself;
But then gOd decided that He'd better create Eternity !!!
