The pageant organisers invited all Guyanese to join in celebrating Guyana’s rich cultural heritage and witness the crowning of the next Miss India Guyana.

“Shivanie Latchman made history by becoming the first Guyanese to secure a Top 5 position in Mrs. India Worldwide, paving the way for future achievements by Rashena Hanif, Kistal Inshan, and Yashmini Sarjoo, who further elevated Guyana’s reputation on the global stage of pageantry,” stated the Miss India Guyana franchise said.

It also reflected on its perseverance during the COVID-19 Pandemic to achieve even more success in when it 2022 and 2023 after a two-year break.
