Each figurine is carefully sculpted with paraffin wax, colour is added to the wax when in molten state and cosmetic colours are applied in the final stages. The hair used is natural, although the eyes and teeth are artificial. Clothes are tailormade to match the fabric and style.There is also a small gift shop where you can purchase candles of various designs, shapes and aromas. The entry cost is 30 Rupees and 10 for cameras.
