It's the time of year again, when all of Bahrain's aspiring 'belles of the ball' get set to hit the catwalk in their quest to win the coveted Indian Club May Queen title.
The annual Indian Club May Queen event has had pride of place on The Club's calendar for over 60 years and seems to go from strength to strength as the years pass by – well known for both its beautiful contestants and its innovative and exciting stage set-ups.

The Indian Club May Queen 2025 event will take place on Friday, 2nd May 2025, and is open to all ladies aged between 17yrs to 27yrs and who are residents of Bahrain; there is no restriction on nationality – in past years, a wide variety of countries have been represented including Bahrain, India, Sri Lanka, Netherlands, Russia, Philippines, France, Ethiopia etc.
A big crowd is expected to pack into The Indian Club's Gudaibiya premises for what should be a tremendous evening of 'full-on' entertainment – in addition to the beauty and sophistication of the contestants, the audience of VIP guests, dignitaries, sponsors, media and spectators will be treated to a spectacular stage show, including a number of traditional and modern dance routines by talented local performers.
Format
The format of the event will be similar to previous years with three rounds – 'Casual wear', 'Ethnic or National costume', 'Party wear' – for the ladies to impress the judges and qualify for a final 'Question and Answer' round – the categories being judged will include The Indian Club May Queen 2025; 1st Runner-Up; 2nd Runner-Up; Best Smile; Best Hairdo; Best Walk and Audience Choice.

Making an impact
melissa@ Bahrain is set to stage the first edition of the International Influencers Awards tonight, May 29, where digital innovators and content creators from across the Gulf will be honoured in a dazzling ceremony, writes Melissa Nazareth. The gala event is being presented by TIAH, a globally recognised soft-skills training institute in Seef District, and will witness 28 finalists across 14 categories compete for titles spanning beauty, wellness, education, comedy, arts and more. Two nominees have been shortlisted for each of the segments in the awards, which are audited by an independent audit firm. The evening will also feature other entertainment, food, and drink, offering guests a lovely time. In addition to recognising influencers and the work they do, the awards also seek to promote Bahrain as a major destination for tourism and business. 'We're thrilled to be staging an event of this type and scale for the first time in Bahrain and absolutely see this becoming an annual event,' TIAH founder Priyanka Jassal told GulfWeekly. 'We want to showcase Bahrain's ongoing efforts in digital transformation and our commitment to aligning with the national development goals. 'This year, we're also placing a special focus on humanitarian impact. As part of the evening, we will be honouring Bahraini digital voices who are making a real difference in society and using their platforms to inspire positive change. 'We've really focused on being inclusive – our finalists, shortlisted from more than 200 applications, feature creative talents from 15 different nationalities, including Bahraini, Egyptian, Argentine, Italian, Swedish, Kazakhstani, Pakistani, Indian, American, German, and more,' the 37-year-old added. The Indian expatriate has extensive hospitality experience specialising in the airline industry. After moving to Bahrain with her husband six years ago, she was keen to pursue her passion, which led her to open her own institute. 'I started my career as a cabin crew and since then have nurtured the dream of establishing my own training institute in hospitality. TIAH was born of this passion,' the award-winning entrepreneur, who has travelled to more than 60 countries, noted. According to Priyanka, the global exposure she received deeply influenced her perspective and inspired her to help others grow personally and professionally. 'I realised that personality development isn't just about image—it's about self-awareness, empathy, and the ability to connect with others meaningfully,' added the recipient of Asia's Top 100 Influential Women Awards' Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2021. Priyanka hopes to continue engaging with inspiring people in Bahrain and beyond. She also has plans to help individuals from underprivileged groups develop their confidence and expand TIAH's existing programmes to include skills like emotional intelligence and digital communication. The International Influencers Awards will be hosted at the Ramee Grand Hotel in Seef. Doors open at 7pm and tickets are available on Platinumlist.
