Till death us do not part: Heartbroken widower replaces his late wife with lifesize marble replica which took six WEEKS to make
, updated
A heartbroken widower has replaced his late wife with a marble replica of her – and talks to the statue every day.
Vijay Kumara, 70, from Chandigarh, India, lost his beloved spouse Veena to blood cancer four years ago.
But he has found solace in a life size recreation of her – which weighs a whopping 157st, and measures 5′ 1″.
It took six weeks to transform the stone into a lookalike of Veena in her memory – and now serves as a touching reminder of the couple’s marriage.
The figure has been chiselled and painted to resemble her, featuring painted grey hair and pink Indian traditional dress.
