CM 's vision makes Miss World 2025 a spectacle of global grandeur
In an electrifying crescendo of lights, elegance, and emotion, Hyderabad etched its name into global history as the radiant heart of the 72nd Miss World Festival. The climactic moment arrived at the opulent HITEX Exhibition Centre, where Opal Suchata Chauangsri of Thailand was crowned Miss World 2025, bringing to a close a month-long odyssey that transcended borders and boundaries. As Krystyna Pyszková of Czech Republic, the 71st Miss World, gracefully passed the crown to her successor, the arena erupted in thunderous applause. Opal stood in a halo of stardust — a beacon of hope, elegance, and purpose — embodying the very soul of the Miss World ethos. This was more than a pageant. It was a historic moment of cultural diplomacy, meticulously brought to life by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, whose visionary leadership transformed an ambitious dream into an unforgettable global celebration. Under his stewardship, Hyderabad — the land of pearls, palaces, and poetic heritage — became the epicenter of the world's gaze, welcoming over 108 contestants from across the globe into its cultural heart. The Miss World pageant in Telangana was a triumph not just of aesthetics, but of purpose, intellect, and international unity. The festival began with a spectacular opening ceremony at Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, resonating with the powerful state anthem 'Jaya Jaya Hey', followed by a majestic Perini dance performance by 250 artists — a powerful tribute to Telangana's classical roots. A dazzling flag parade showcased 108 contestants in their national costumes, painting a vivid portrait of global diversity. The presence of Miss World Chairperson Julia Morley alongside Chief Minister Revanth Reddy highlighted a symbolic confluence of tradition and progress. The anthem 'Telangana Zaroor Aana' reverberated across the arena, affirming the state's emergence as a vibrant cultural and investment destination. Contestants were immersed in a rich itinerary that blended heritage with hospitality. From the serene spiritual vibes of Buddhavanam to a mesmerizing heritage walk through Charminar and Laad Bazaar, the soul of Telangana unfolded at every turn. The grandeur of Chowmahalla Palace, lit under starlit skies, provided a Nizami backdrop to their royal experience. Historical marvels like the Ramappa Temple, Thousand Pillar Temple, and Warangal Fort evoked awe, telling stories of the Kakatiya dynasty's engineering genius. In Pochampally, delegates from Africa experienced the intricate beauty of Ikat weaving, while the 700-year-old banyan tree at Pillalamarri echoed with Bathukamma rhythms and folklore. Meanwhile, Caribbean delegates found spiritual resonance at Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple in Yadagirigutta, while modern Telangana unfolded before others at AIG Hospitals, showcasing the state's medical tourism excellence. At Experium Eco Park, europeans sustainable fashion became a canvas of innovation and environmental consciousness. The Miss World Sports Challenge brought energy and camaraderie to Gachibowli, where strength and sisterhood triumphed. At Ramoji Film City, contestants stepped into a cinematic wonderland, walking among majestic sets that embody India's storytelling magic. At the Integrated Police Command and Control Centre, delegates witnessed Telangana's fusion of AI and civic service — a model of secure, compassionate governance. The visit to the Secretariat was marked by cultural performances, drone shows, and a solemn tribute to Telangana Talli, portraying a governance model grounded in humanity and vision. Inside T-Hub, Telangana's temple of innovation, the contestants presented their 'Beauty with a Purpose' projects — powerful campaigns on mental health, education, environmental protection, and women's empowerment. The room became a sanctuary of ideas, where beauty met bold action, and purpose met progress. In Shilparamam, contestants explored Telangana's rich craftsmanship — weaving baskets, molding clay, and painting alongside local artisans. Their journey culminated at Shilpakala Vedika for the Talent Finale, where creativity lit up the stage. From Miss India's dynamic Garba to Kenya's energetic DJ set and Indonesia's soulful piano piece, the night resonated with passion and global unity. From the moment delegates arrived at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Telangana embraced them with warmth and precision. A vibrant traditional welcome, luxury accommodation at Trident Hotel, seamless transportation, and curated culinary experiences — all spoke of the state's meticulous planning and boundless hospitality. The Tourism and Police Departments ensured fool-proof security throughout, while a highly efficient back-end team flawlessly managed food, logistics, cutlery, and protocols. Every detail reflected Telangana's unwavering commitment to excellence, grace, and global standards. The HITEX Exhibition Centre, transformed into a realm of haute couture and classical aesthetics, became the final stage of dreams and destiny. Amid global media attention and architectural brilliance, Telangana shone — not just as a host, but as a symbol of unity, beauty, and purpose. CM Revanth Reddy's dream wasn't just to host Miss World — it was to redefine Telangana's place on the world stage. Through this majestic endeavor, Telangana didn't just host the world — it became the world, radiating confidence, culture, and cosmopolitan grace. As the crown was gently placed upon Opal Suchata, it wasn't just a victory for one contestant — it was a triumph for Telangana, for India, and for a visionary Chief Minister whose unwavering resolve made the extraordinary possible. Economists may measure the event's impact in investment numbers and tourism booms — but its true legacy lies in the hearts it touched, the stories it created, and the global bonds it nurtured. The 72nd Miss World wasn't just a festival. It was a crowned triumph of vision, culture, and global unity — a memory etched in gold for generations to come. (The writer is Asst.
