Koppal, Aug 11: An entrepreneur from the Bhagyanagar had arranged a house warming ceremony recently. The guests who came for the function could not believe their eyes, as the lady of the house who had passed away in an accident three years ago was present there.

The wife of Srinivas Gupta, a well-known businessman from Bhagyanagar here, had lost her life in an accident in July 2017. On the house warming day, the people were shell-shocked to find the lady exactly looking the same with the same height and appearance, as if she had come alive in flesh and blood again.

Gupta's wife had dreamt of building a house. She had elaborately planned for it. But when the house was ready, she was not alive. Gupta felt that the void of her absence should somehow be filled. He used Google search, visited various places, and finally saw that his wife took part in the programme.

With the help of puppetry artists at Bengaluru, Gupta was able to get the replica of his wife done with the use of rubber and silicon materials. The statue looks as if the lady is alive here. She looks real. Gupta's children are ecstatic as they completed housewarming rituals with the feeling that their mother was by their side. People were busy clicking their photographs with the statue.

Gupta said his wife happens to be the person he loves the most. He said with the limited power the God gave him, he got this statue done. He hastened to add that if he had the power, he would have breathed life into the statue. He mentions that memories of his association with his wife are invaluable.
