This year’s competition welcomed 14 charismatic contestants representing the various Indian states. They underwent comprehensive grooming sessions by industry experts to prepare for the national stage. The competition was structured around three elegant rounds — a traditional round in lehenga, a contemporary western wear segment, and a final evening gown round.
Organized by Pegasus Global Pvt Ltd, the pageant stood apart as the only one in the nation to eliminate the bikini round, reinforcing its values of dignity and cultural representation. The Miss Queen of India platform serves as a gateway to global pageants such as Miss Asia, Miss Asia Global, and Miss Glam World.
