Jaipur Wax Museum starts work on wax statue of cricketer Harmanpreet Kaur
Jaipur – Dec 1 – The Jaipur Wax Museum has taken a milestone step for women’s cricket by beginning work on a full‑size wax likeness of Indian women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur.
Kaur is set to be the first female cricketer worldwide to receive her own wax portrait, a symbol of her remarkable influence on the game.
A dedicated crew from the museum recently sat down with Harmanpreet to record precise body measurements and capture quality photos and footage that will guide the sculptors.
“She was extremely humble, patient, and cooperative,” shared museum officials, noting how she helped the team achieve a realistic depiction.
An influential figure at the museum, Founder and Curator Anoop Srivastava, remarked that Kaur was visibly excited about the project and expressed deep thanks for the honour. She also promised to attend the unveiling with her family.
Srivastava added that the captain was keen to learn the whole wax‑making sequence, asking thoughtful questions and appreciating the craft.
During the visit, Kaur also marveled at the stunning Sheesh Mahal, one of the museum’s signature displays. The curator emphasized the venue’s distinct focus on “inspiring icons who influence society positively” rather than primarily on film stars.
He noted that Harmanpreet Kaur’s rise—from a small‑town girl to the captain of India’s women’s team—provides a powerful example for young girls and sports lovers across the country.
The museum’s existing collection already features figures of renowned athletes like Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, M.S. Dhoni, Saina Nehwal, and Sandeep Singh. Adding Kaur will only deepen its roster of sports icons who have elevated Indian athletics on the world stage.
Situated in a 300‑year‑old heritage building, the Jaipur Wax Museum remains a unique cultural landmark, blending history, art, and national pride.
The forthcoming Kaur statue is expected to attract substantial interest and admiration from visitors when its exhibition opens.
