Rajasthan's Manika Wins Miss Universe India Title 2025
Hailing from Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, and currently based in Delhi, Manika is a final-year Political Science and Economics student. A nationally awarded artist, she previously won the Miss Universe Rajasthan 2024 title. Her multifaceted talents span classical dance, painting, and representing India at the BIMSTEC Sewocon under the Ministry of External Affairs. As the founder of Neuronova, Manika advocates for reframing neurodivergence, particularly ADHD, as a unique cognitive strength rather than a disorder. Her initiative promotes authenticity, empathy, and cognitive diversity, earning widespread admiration.
The Miss Universe India organisation praised Manika’s ability to blend creativity and intellect, making her a standout choice for the crown. The event also recognized other talented finalists: Tanya Sharma (Miss Universe Uttar Pradesh 2025) as the first runner-up, Mehak Dhingra as the second runner-up, and Amishi Kaushik (Miss Universe Haryana) as the third runner-up.
Manika’s crowning moment marks a significant milestone as she prepares to compete on the global stage, carrying India’s pride and her advocacy for inclusivity. The Miss Universe India 2025 pageant, hosted in the vibrant city of Jaipur, continues to celebrate beauty, talent, and purpose, setting the stage for Manika Vishwakarma to shine at the international Miss Universe 2025 competition in Thailand.
