Manika, a final-year student of political science and economics, is originally from Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, and currently resides in Delhi. Prior to competing nationally, she took home the title of Miss Universe Rajasthan last year.
Manika will represent India at the 74th Miss Universe pageant, which will take place in Thailand this November, wearing her new crown.

With three victors leaving their mark on history, India has an impressive record at Miss Universe. In 1994, Sushmita Sen became the first Indian Miss Universe, and in 2000, Lara Dutta did the same. In 2021, twenty years later, Harnaaz Sandhu returned with the crown.
All eyes will be on Thailand as Manika Vishwakarma gets ready to follow in the footsteps of these international legends to see if she can win India’s fourth Miss Universe title.
