Hey everyone, I’m Dimple—and if you’re someone who claims to be a true-blue Jaipurite but haven’t stepped into the Jaipur Wax Museum, then it’s time to rethink that claim!
I recently visited this incredible place and let me be honest—it’s more than just a tourist spot. It’s a living example of vision, creativity, and sheer hard work. I’ve seen Jaipur’s magnificent heritage—the grand forts, palaces, and architecture created by the royals—but this place, tucked near the famous Nahargarh Fort, offers something deeply personal, cinematic, and emotionally moving.
What makes it truly special? The man behind it—Anoop Shrivastav, whom I had the privilege of meeting. And let me tell you, meeting him felt like meeting a man who turned dreams into sculptures, quite literally.
From a Haunted Place to a Dream Realized
We all know about Nahargarh Fort and the beautiful Nahargarh Mahal. But did you know that just next to it lies a structure that was once considered haunted? Anoop Shrivastav saw potential in that very space. With his background in cinema, he envisioned the museum as a three-part story—just like a well-directed film—and brought it to life.
He told us, “A good movie has a beginning, a middle, and a climax. So does this museum.” And oh, what a climax it is!
Part I – A Walk Among Legends
The first section is all about inspirational figures—from Amitabh Bachchan to Virat Kohli, Saina Nehwal to Kalpana Chawla, Doraemon to Spiderman, Gandhiji to Swami Vivekananda. It’s like walking through a hall of fame, but with cinematic lighting and storytelling that makes every figure feel alive.
Part II – Rajasthan’s Pride on Display
The second part took my breath away. It’s a tribute to the history-makers of Rajasthan—Maharana Pratap, Sawai Man Singh, Gayatri Devi, and more Rajas’ coming soon in the list of sculptures. The setup, costumes, and background scores create an atmosphere that feels more like a period film set than a static museum.
Part III – The Grand Climax: Modern-Day Sheesh Mahal
Now, let’s talk about my favorite part—the Sheesh Mahal. I’ve seen the original one built by kings, but this one? This is a 21st-century tribute that left me speechless. What makes it unique is that even the floor is made of mirrors, fascinating right?
What I absolutely loved was how the Sheesh Mahal is divided into three color zones—yellow, blue, and white. Each zone brings a different mood. The beautifully rounded convex mirrors carved in intricate patterns not only show your face—they reflect the passion of the person who created this space. It was pure healing just standing there.
More than this there are also puppet and magic shows happening which are really interesting!
More Than Just Wax and Mirrors
What makes the Jaipur Wax Museum different is not just the artistry, but the soul behind it. It’s not a government project. It’s not a royal inheritance. It’s a dream made real by one man—his vision, his passion, his belief that stories deserve a space to be celebrated.
And honestly? That’s what makes this place so memorable.
So, the next time you’re in Jaipur—or even if you live here—don’t miss out on this incredible space. Because to truly understand the modern creative spirit of Jaipur, you need to experience the Jaipur Wax Museum for yourself.
