FREE ENTRY TO ALL VISITORS --- Darshan is not really a 'museum' in the conventional sense of the term. Although it does what every museum does, keeps alive a memory, but at Darshan, it's done through 3D Holographics, Life-Like Statues, Realistic Sets, Hi-Def Audio, HD Video, Theatrical Lighting and much more!Darshan is the next step in story-telling. The visitor literally 'walks' into a scene and the scene 'plays out' before your eyes! Each scene is brought to life through realistic sets, and within the set are various props that help to recreate the scene before you. For the first time in the country has 3D Holographics been used in a show! Characters appear in thin air and act out scenes before your very eyes! A truly magical experience!Darshan tells the beautiful story of a Saint of Modern India, Sadhu T L Vaswani. He was a visionary, an educationist, a spiritual giant, a poet and much, much more! His life bore witness to the universal ideals of Unity, Brotherhood of all life, Compassion, Love for all, Peace. He inspired many to work for the cause of the independence of India alongside with Gandhi, he worked for women upliftment years before modern society did it, by starting a Women's Education Movement called the Mira Movement in Education. The Mira Movement in Education has now spread to many cities and thousands of young girls benefit from it. He was an animal rights activist, his birthday, 25th November, is celebrated as Animal Rights Day and crores of people pledge to abstain from food of violence on this day every year! He was a spiritual giant. He spread the Eternal Message of the Saints and Rishis amongst the common man and made the Divine accessible to everyone. Ever a believer in the Unity of All Life, He promoted no one religion but taught that all religions lead to but One Goal. The Paths are Many but the Goal is One! His spiritual poetry has been compiled into the largest compilation of Spiritual Poetry by a single author in the world! It is called the Nuri Granth and is revered by his followers as a storehouse of spiritual wisdom and knowledge.We invite you to come and experience His simplicity, His wisdom, His purity, His unique life at Darshan!

Sunil's Celebrity Wax Museum is the First and largest wax museum in India.
Reviewed By CedricN276 - Mumbai, India
Had been to this wax museum in Lonavla a long back ago. This museum is located at a new location and is a popular tourist attraction. Earlier this museum was located off the Old Mumbai-Pune highway. This museum had housed a few wax sculptures. Later, it got upgraded and shifted to a mall located close to the old site where it was before. Now, it has been upgraded and moved to a new location off the road leading to Bushi Dam. This wax museum is India's first and largest wax museum. As the name suggests, it was named after Sunil Kandaloor, a sculpture artist from Kerala. This present wax museum displays life size wax sculptures of Hollywood & Bollywood celebrities, sportstars, politicians etc. This museum is visited by local as well as tourists from other parts of the country. Earlier, the entry fee was Rs. 100 per person in the old location. Now, it is Rs. 200 per person including GST. However, the staff is very particular about the wax sculptures and makes sure the no one damages them. This wax museum is ideal for families as well as friends. It is a must visit and should not be missed.

Though a museum for children, but as a railway enthusiast since childhood I loved this place very much and feel personally that every parent should bring their children here for visit.
