For majority folks, the word Wax Museum' is a synonym for Madame Tussauds'. With almost a dozen of museums spread over Europe, US and Far East Asia, Madame Tussauds immortalized many world-famous personalities as life size replicas.
But it seems the title of world's best ever wax museum is not confined to Madame Tussauds chain of museums. There is another strong contender for the same, in the country of countless wonders India.
Have a look at these pictures... It is not just a person's replica, but a recreation of the unspoilt rural village life --- that strives even now in the some pristine locations across India.
Many may find difficult to digest such humble life actually exist !!!

Nailing a bullock with iron shoe...'
A routine chit-chat among villagers...'
Villagers performing Bhajan (singing Hindu devotional songs)...'
Cows (the most scared animal in India) grazing the fields...'

These are the scenes from Siddhagiri Museum', a wax museum located on the Pune-Bangalore Highway, near the city of Kolhapur, in Maharashtra state, India. Perhaps the only one-of-its-kind' wax museum in the world !
Siddhagiri Museum is a place with an important message... It illustrates the timeworn fact that whatever may be thecast, creed or race ....people can live in unison, like a large family.
Rightly so, by judging these scenes one can experience the perfect harmony something rare' in the fast paced modern era.
