On the occasion, Baba Ramdev said, “I feel honoured that my wax statue is being installed at Madame Tussauds in New York. It’s not just a piece of recognition for me but is also a recognition of yoga and ayurveda and India’s eternal culture. This also shows that not only are icons from Bollywood, Hollywood, and the world of politics celebrated and recognised but a seer can also claim similar recognition.”
At the event, Baba Ramdev also put a ‘tika’ on the forehead of his wax impression while unveiling it.
