What’s Special About The Kanyakumari Wax Museum?
We don’t have proof to validate this claim, but apparently, the Kanyakumari Wax Museum is one of the first wax museums in India. There are about 150 wax statues of famous Indian politicians and celebrities, including Mahatma Gandhi, Jayalalitha, and even actors like Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bachan, Rajnikanth, and Vijay.
