1.India’s new Miss Universe hope

Manika Vishwakarma, a Delhi University student, has made the nation proud by winning the Miss Universe India 2025 title. The 22-year-old beauty will represent India at the 74th Miss Universe pageant, scheduled to take place on November 21, 2025, at the Impact Challenger Hall in Thailand. Her grace, confidence and authenticity have already made her a fan favourite.
2.From Rajasthan to Delhi’s heart

Beyond the glitz and glamour, Manika is known for her compassion and intellect. A trained classical dancer and talented visual artist, she expresses herself creatively through art and movement.

Her advocacy work makes her a true example of 'beauty with a purpose.'

Manika’s journey in pageantry began with Miss Universe Rajasthan 2024, where her confidence and elegance caught everyone’s attention. In August 2025, she went on to win the Miss Universe India crown at a glittering national finale in Jaipur. Her victory marks a new era of representation, one that celebrates intelligence, diversity and individuality.
