A breezy morning of art, dance and tradition for Miss World beauties
While some participants tried their hand at pottery and painting, others interacted with children dressed as Lord Krishna and his Gopis (companions).
The breezy morning provided the perfect setting for the visit, with melodious flute and mridangam performances by local artistes adding to the festive atmosphere.
Hyderabad, May 22 (PTI) The Miss World 2025 contestants got a taste of Telangana's rich cultural heritage on Thursday during a visit to state-run 'Shilparamam' arts and crafts village here, where they immersed themselves in traditional art forms such as pottery, painting, and folk dance.
Several beauty queens also joined local women, grooving to Kolatam, a folk art typically performed during temple festivals.
The visitors were also introduced to 'Haridasus', folk singers in distinctive attire who sing devotional songs during the harvest festival of Sankranti.
The Miss World 2025 pageant kicked off with a grand ceremony in Hyderabad on May 10 and will continue until May 31.
Leveraging the event, the Telangana government devised an elaborate action plan to showcase the state as a hub of tourism and investment.
As part of this vision, the contestants toured major attractions across the state, including the iconic Charminar here, UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ramappa Temple in Mulugu district, famous Narasimha temple in Yadagirigutta and a 700-year-old Banyan tree in neighbouring Mahabubnagar district.

Airlines projected to report USD 36 billion profit in 2025: IATA
New Delhi, Jun 2 (PTI) Airlines' profit is expected to touch USD 36 billion, slightly higher than USD 32.4 billion posted last year, IATA said on Monday. Addressing the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in the national capital, its Director General Willie Walsh asserted that airspace should be kept out of trade wars. The AGM is taking place in India after 42 years. Flagging concerns over supply chain issues, Walsh said there is a backlog of 17,000 aircraft and 1,100 planes under 10 years are in storage while the fleet replacement rate is three per cent. In 2025, airlines globally are expected to report a profit of USD 36 billion, higher than USD 32.4 billion recorded in 2024, but slightly down compared to USD 36.6 billion projected in December 2024, as per IATA. Walsh said that USD 36 billion profit is significant but that equates to just USD 7.20 per passenger per segment. "It's still a thin buffer and any new tax, increase in airport or navigation charge, demand shock or costly regulation will quickly put the industry's resilience to the test," he said. The airline industry's revenues are expected to reach a historic high of USD 979 billion in 2025, around 1.3 per cent higher than the figure seen in 2024, according to IATA, which represents about 350 airlines comprising over 80 per cent of the global air traffic. Around 1,700 participants are expected to attend the World Air Transport Summit, and the AGM. According to IATA, India's aviation industry directly employs 3,69,700 people and generates USD 5.6 billion of GDP. When indirect, induced and tourism impacts are included, the totals rise to 7.7 million jobs and USD 53.6 billion of GDP (1.5 per cent). The next IATA AGM will be held in Brazil in 2026.
