CM Yogi to inaugurate the world's first Ramayana was museum during Deepotsav 2025

Ayodhya, Oct 15 (UNI) After the grand construction of the Ram Temple in the Ram Janmabhoomi complex, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is set to present another historic gift to Ayodhya — the world's first Ramayana-themed wax museum, now complete and ready for inauguration during the ninth Deepotsav celebration.
Located on the Chaudah Kosi Parikrama route, opposite Kashiram Colony, the museum recreates the divine atmosphere of the Treta Yuga and is poised to become both a center of faith and a global tourist attraction. Spread over 9,850 sq. ft. and built at a cost of Rs 6 crore, the fully air-conditioned museum houses 50 lifelike wax statues of characters from the Ramayana, including Lord Ram, depicting key episodes from the epic. Entry will be limited to 100 visitors at a time, officials here on Wednesday .
Designed in South Indian architectural style, the two-story museum brings the Ramayana to life — the ground floor showcasing scenes from Ram Lalla's childhood to Sita's swayamvar, and the first floor depicting the exile, Lanka Dahan, and the Ram-Ravana war. Each statue features dedicated lighting and realistic detailing in attire, expression, and posture.
