Miss Universe India 2026 finalists hold Sufi Night in Indore

Fifty-two finalists for the Miss Universe India 2026 pageant gathered for a Sufi Night at the Unwind Resort near Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on August 8. The musical event served as a reprieve during a 10-day intensive grooming and training program.

Organized by the Glamanand Group, the pageant involves rigorous preparation in communication, presentation, dance, and rehearsals, which may reach 14 to 15 hours daily as the competition approaches. The finalists were selected from an initial pool of 8,000 to 9,000 aspirants through regional pageants and NRI auditions.

The grand finale is scheduled for August 23 at Zee Studios in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Reigning titleholder Manika Vishwakarma is expected to crown her successor during the event.
