I don’t keep myself updated with political news but I am a bit interested in current affairs. I have observed my mother following the event of Miss Nepal 2023 with great enthusiasm. She knows all the participants’ names and their qualities. This drew my attention and I too spent my time staying updated with the event. The annual event took place in Lalitpur on 27th may. This was the 27th edition of Miss Nepal Pageant.
Starting off with a few facts, Miss Nepal competition started in Nepal in the year 1994. There was a lot of debate when this program got introduced as beauty pageants had never happened in the country before. However, in spite of lots of oppose, the program got conducted and Ms. Ruby Rana Shah was crowned the first Miss Nepal.
Coming back to 2023, the event had 24 participants who had been selected on the basis of regional auditions made throughout the country. The participants were then groomed by experts for about 2 months.
The top 5 finalists presented very well on topics provided by the judges. I really liked Ms. Prasiddhy Shah’s views on ‘Tourism Development Possibilities’. It was a tough competition as all of the participants were really competitive. However, Ms. Srichchha Pradhan won the title of Miss Nepal 2023.
