Hyderabad's Shilparamam turns global village as Miss World 2025 contestants experience Telangana's living traditions
The visit began with a traditional welcome, melodic strains of the Nadaswaram filled the air as the contestants were presented with marigold bouquets. A photo session soon followed, capturing moments of cross-cultural camaraderie against the backdrop of Telangana's artistic landscape.
The contestants explored Shilparamam's artisan stalls and walked through the village museum, where life-sized models depicted rural lifestyles from across the country. A brief but joyful celebration of Bathukamma, Telangana's floral festival, saw the contestants join a traditional dance.
One of the highlights of the visit was the hands-on experience at the Brundavanam Craft Experience Zone. Here, the contestants tried their hand at traditional art forms such as pottery, Cheriyal mask painting, and basket weaving. Under the guidance of local artisans, these 10 to 15 minute sessions offered them a connection to India's age-old crafts.
The contestants also interacted with women from Self Help Groups (SHGs) whose livelihood initiatives were centred around traditional crafts. A short presentation highlighted how these women-led enterprises are not only preserving cultural heritage but also strengthening rural economies.

"Our ground team in Milan extended immediate assistance to all the affected passengers, providing hotel accommodation and offering full refunds on cancellation or complimentary rescheduling as opted by the passengers," it said. According to Air India, along with the maintenance issue, the operating crew of the flight come under the mandatory flight duty-time limitation norms. Air India generally operates its Boeing 787-8/9 aircraft fleet to cater to European destinations. The airline, which came under private hands in January 2022, has, of late, been delaying, cancelling some flights at the last minute due to technical and maintenance issues. This is despite airline CEO and Managing Director Campbell Wilson repeatedly claiming that Air India has carried out comprehensive checks on its Boeing 787 aircraft fleet. A Delhi-bound Air India flight from Bhubaneswar was cancelled just prior to its departure on August 3 due to high cabin temperature. On July 31, an Air India Boeing 787-9 aircraft flying to London had to abort take-off at Delhi airport and return to the bay due to a technical issue. In a message to the customers recently, while listing out the various steps taken after the fatal crash of an AI-171 flight to London soon after take-off from the Ahmedabad airport, Wilson said detailed inspections of its Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 aircraft were done and "no issues were found during inspection".
