Mumbai, Mar 21 (UNI) The 46th edition of the Miss India pageant will be held here on April eight.

The event, to be hosted by Femina, will be held on MMRDA grounds in suburban Bandra, where the new beauty queens will be chosen to represent the country in international beauty pageants like Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss Asia Pacific.

Yesterday, Femina unveiled this year's contestants and the crowns, designed by Tanishq, to be worn by the winners.

The finalists from different parts of the country walked the ramp. They were attired in black cocktail dresses by Pantaloons, the title sponsors of this year's event. The show was choreographed by fashion designer Hemant Trivedi.

All the aspiring finalists, while continuing their journey towards the coveted pageant, will undergo a three week-long training by fitness, skin, nutrition and make-up experts. The main show will be aired live on Sony television.

The reality series 'Main Miss India' is being shot as part of the training programme. The series will offer the viewers a sneak peek into the lives of the contestants and will be telecast on Zoom TV from March 24 to 30. The theme song of the series, sung by Alisha Chinai, was also launched last evening as the contestants walked the ramp.
