The wax statue of former President APJ Abdul Kalam, to be installed at the Knowledge Centre in Rameswaram, has been sent from Jaipur Wax Museum, authorities said today.
Founder-director of Jaipur Wax Museum, Anoop Srivastava said the wax statue was gifted following a request from his family members.
The statue, completed in three months, weighs 45 kilograms. Twenty-five kilograms of wax was used in the production of the statue that was built by sculptor Sushanta Ray and his team.
Kalam, the 11th President of India -- from 2002 to 2007 -- was born and raised in Rameswaram and upon his demise, was buried there with full state honours.
