Location & Format
Venue planning and agreement
Manipur will host the grand finale of Femina Miss India 2023 in April 2023 for the first time in northeast India's history. In the presence of chief minister N. Biren Singh and Times of India Managing Director Vineet Jain at the CM's Secretariat in Imphal, an agreement to formalise the cooperation was signed between the Tourism Department, Government of Manipur, and the Times Group. MP Leishemba Sanajaoba, ministers Yumnam Khemchand Singh, Govindas Konthoujam, Awangbow Newmai, Dr Sapam Ranjan Singh, H Dingko Singh, Leishangthem Susindro Meitei, MLA Losii Dikho, chief secretary Rajesh Kumar, and Rohit Gopakumar, chief operational officer, Miss India Organisation, were also present.[3][4]
Offline mode registration
After two years of online pageant operations, from registration to auditions, Femina Miss India 2023 will be held entirely offline. Contestants from all over the country will audition in front of a panel of experts in a venue chosen by the zone division. Following the audition, the organization's social media account will reveal top 5/12/20 state finalists. The state representative for the finals will be determined by a crowning ceremony for each zone. These 30 finalists will go through rigorous training and grooming activities such as workshops, photo shoots, awards night, sub-title competition, personal interviews, and many more. Furthermore, former Miss India and Bollywood actress Neha Dhupia will serve as a mentor to the state delegates.
Activities of the 30 delegates in Manipur
All the 30 representatives of different places of India arrived in Imphal International Airport on April 7, 2023.[5] They were received by crowning all of them with a Kajenglei (traditional Meitei female headdress) each and Leirum Lengyan (traditional Meitei shawl) each.[6] On 9th of April, they visited the historic Kangla Fort located in the heart of Imphal city. Inside the fort, there were shooting of the videos for the grand finale of the beauty pageant. During the shooting session, the contestants primarily covered the temples (including the Pakhangba Temple, Kangla), fort ruins and the twin Kanglasha dragon statues.[7] They attended a self defense session exclusively for them in the Khuman Lampak Main Stadium. The purpose was to impart them the knowledge and skills to protect themselves as well as to gain a sense of confidence and self-assurance that will stay with them for life.[8]
On 10th April, the state representative ladies visited the Loktak lake for their film shooting.[9] After that, they went to the Indian National Army Memorial Complex (INA Memorial) in Moirang for a moment of interaction and photo shoots. They also visited the Little Flower School, Imphal (a girls' only school) for interaction with the female students. During the event in the school, girl students performed various traditional dances. Many speeches of encouragement and motivation were delivered to the students by Femina Miss India Karnataka 2023 Megan Edward, Femina Miss India Rajasthan 2023 Nandini Gupta, and Femina Miss India Manipur 2023 Thounaojam Strela Luwang.[10][11] At the end of the day, the ladies visited the Ima Keithel (Meitei for 'Ima Market'),[12][13] in the heart of Imphal, which is the world's only market run exclusively by women.[14]
