Each contestant showcased exceptional talent and grace, but it was Manika's clarity of purpose, composure, and radiating confidence that sealed her victory.

With this triumph, she secures her place as India's representative at the 74th Miss Universe pageant scheduled in November in Thailand, a stage that has long been a theatre for transformative stories of beauty, confidence, and advocacy. Manika is originally from Sri Ganganagar in Rajasthan and now resides in Delhi. She was also crowned the Miss Universe Rajasthan 2024, and is a dynamic personality, currently in the final year of her Political Science and Economics degree. She has already built an inspiring portfolio of achievements at a young age.
