点评:As per our tour programme, we left for Pune on 3rd day for Pune. Our driver, who was with us for last 2 days in Mumbai was changed besides the car by out travel agent and the new driver was more familiar with Pune and ghat road from Mumbai. In fact, we had already planned to visit the Wax Museum in Lonavala as the wax museum of Mumbai was closed. After about 2-hour drive we reached Square Market close to Mumbai-Pune Road. It is a shopping comlex and Sunil's wax museum is also situated here besides many other attractions. We had to wait for about 30 minutes because earlier batches of visitors were already inside. About 20 persons are generally taken in one batch and 2 matches are taken together. The ticket price is 200/- rupees. A guide accompanied us and narrated about various wax statues installed inside. There are about 100 wax statues of sevral celebraties including political leaders, movie actors, social activists, sports persons and famous artists, alive as well dead. I shall naame a few. We saw the wax statues of Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Bal Thakre, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Anna Hazare, Narender Modi, Michael Jackson, Baba Ramdev, Virat Kohli, Kapil Dev, Classic singer MS Subbalaxmi, Kareena Kapoor, Rajni Kant, Arab Belly dancer Nadia Hussein and many others. Photographs of some celebrities are attached. This Square market has provision for rest rooms but these are not well maintained. There are a few kiosks selling snacks and soft as well as hot drinks. This was our first visit to a Wax Museum, though I have heard of Madame Tussad Museum in England which is known to be the best, However, I found Lonavala Wax Museum to have real to life statues. A film was also screened to narrate the background efforts taken to make these wax statues. On the whole, I strongly recommend to visit this museum.
翻译:根据我们的旅游计划,我们在第三天前往浦那。我们在孟买的最后两天和我们在一起的司机除了汽车之外还被旅行社换了,新司机更熟悉来自孟买的浦那和加特路。事实上,由于孟买蜡像馆关闭,我们就已经计划去参观罗纳瓦拉蜡像馆了。大约2小时车程后,我们到达了孟买-浦那路附近的广场市场。这是一个购物中心,除了许多其他景点外,苏尼尔蜡像馆也位于此。我们等了大约30分钟,因为前面几批游客已经进去了。一般一批20人左右,2场比赛一起进行。票价200卢比。一位导游陪同我们并讲述了里面安装的各种蜡像。这里有大约 100 尊名人的蜡像,包括政治领袖、电影演员、社会活动家、运动员和著名艺术家,包括生前和去世的名人。我将列举一些。我们看到了圣雄甘地、英迪拉·甘地、巴尔·塔克雷、阿塔尔·比哈里·瓦杰帕伊、安娜·哈扎尔、纳伦德·莫迪、迈克尔·杰克逊、巴巴·拉姆德夫、维拉特·科利、卡皮尔·德夫、古典歌手 MS Subbalaxmi、卡琳娜·卡普尔、拉吉尼·康德、阿拉伯肚皮的蜡像舞蹈家纳迪亚·侯赛因 (Nadia Hussein) 等。附上一些名人的照片。这个广场市场设有卫生间,但维护得不好。有几个售货亭出售小吃、软饮料和热饮。这是我们第一次参观蜡像馆,虽然我听说过英国的杜莎夫人蜡像馆号称最好,但我发现罗纳瓦拉蜡像馆有栩栩如生的雕像。还放映了一部影片来讲述制作这些蜡像的背景工作。总的来说,我强烈推荐参观这个博物馆。
