Prior to event, the state winners were in Rajasthan visiting Amer Fort, Hawa Mahal and Albert Hall Museum, besides host of the iconic destinations in the state. The Rajasthali Resort and Spa played host to the 30 state winners, pampering them with its hospitality. Created by Manish Malhotra, the garments are adorned with handcrafted elements of design, including 3D floral threadwork, intricate brocade, fringes, sequinned highlights, signature jewelled necklines and much more, said the official Miss India website.

Manish Malhotra who designed for the stunning ladies said: “With silhouettes of global influences adorned with traditional handicrafts of India, the idea was to include some colour and texture play in the collection. I have used a lot of interesting pastels and muted colour tints in the garments. The proportion of thread-work in each outfit has been balanced out while pairing them together to enable fluidity for the wearer.”
