FROM serene Yadadri to spiritual Nagarjunasagar, the Miss World 2025 cultural trail moved to a majestic crescendo on Wednesday with 50 contestants visiting the historic Ramappa Temple in Mulugu and the iconic monuments in Warangal and Hanamkonda.

At Ramappa — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — 33 contestants from the Americas and Europe were welcomed with Kommu Koya drums and a red-carpet ritual, including a traditional foot-washing ceremony. Dressed in elegant Ikat half sarees, the contestants joined a pooja and explored the temple, marvelling at its intricate carvings. They were especially captivated by a stone that allows a needle to pass through 13 precise gaps — a marvel of Kakatiya craftsmanship.
