During my recent visit to Jaipur, one of the highlights of the trip was my stay in this heritage property, Jai Niwas Garden Hotel. In town to attend the BITSAA Global Meet an university alumnus event, stayed back for a day for sightseeing and nostalgia. After a few important landmarks the driver suggested this Wax Museum Jaipur and I thought WOW never knew. Come let’s head there but first a little about this lovely boutique hotel where I had put up.
Located not too far away from the city center, the hotel lies in the peaceful neighborhood of Civil lines. I found it quite a cool place with huge rooms and each having a name, a balcony and modern amenities. ‘Chitra’ was the name of my room and it reminded me of all the Chitras I have known in my life as I checked in.
It was truly a pleasure being hosted. A happy staff is what makes a hotel wonderful and there were plenty of them at Moustache Nakshatra. Be it Shahrukh at the reception, the manager, the chef, the service guys and the General Manager, Nilashish Sarkar with a bong connection.

Wax Museum Jaipur
The driver stopped the car and said “there we are Sir’ in hindi. I got down, looked at the building in front and for a thirty odd good seconds was in a state of shock. It was a narrow three storey unimpressive house that was home to the museum with a few more surprises in store for the visitor.
I had Madame Tussauds in my thoughts and there I was in front of Khamma Ghani Wax Museum. And the next thought was ‘Should I go in or not?. But then decided to buy the Rs 300/- (USD 4 approx) ticket without the 12-D cinema option and go in. After all it was a quick thinking businessman’s creative venture and it certainly deserved a look although tickets were highly overpriced. The all inclusive price with 12-D cinema was Rs 500/- (USD 7 approx).
The Wax Museum
After I entered I thought of asking this guy next to me to give me an idea of what to expect. And then realized he was a wax figure whom I couldn’t recognize. I thought he probably was the guide. That brought a smile on my face and also the eagerness to explore further. Come let’s check it out.

Wax Museum Jaipur. Is it worth it? Well if you ask me it certainly turned out to be a much better experience than I thought it would be. With some wax figures really good and some others well attempted.
If you have kids they might like the overall experience despite the high price. For adults only visitors, well you have seen it all with me. Instead use the money to feast on some mouthwatering Rajasthan delicacies. The Pyaaz Kachori, Dal Baati Churma, Mawa Kachori, Ghevar, Rabri, Peda, Kalakand and Lassi.
