About this audio guide
This guide to the Jaipur Wax Museum at Nahargarh Fort traces back to 1734, when Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II's workers refused to keep building until the ghost of a Rathore prince, Nahar Singh Bhomia, was appeased with a temple and the fort's new name. It jumps forward to December 2016, when the fortress became home to India's first heritage-site wax museum, and follows sculptor Susanta Ray's more than thirty lifelike figures, from Mahatma Gandhi to Michael Jackson. You'll also step into the restored Sheesh Mahal, the fort's own Hall of Mirrors.
