Indian state beauty pageant
Miss Nagaland is a state beauty pageant held annually since 1989 in the Northeastern Indian state of Nagaland. Miss Nagaland does not officially send any of its winners or previous contestants to participate in other beauty pageants. Nevertheless, a number of its beauty queens have over the years gone on to compete independently in other beauty pageants at the regional and national levels, as well as internationally.[1]
Miss Nagaland is not affiliated with Femina which has since 2017 introduced a new format for the selection of contestants for the Femina Miss India national beauty pageant. Femina holds a separate audition to crown a Femina Miss India Nagaland winner to represent the state of Nagaland at Femina Miss India.[2]
The reigning Miss Nagaland is Hikali Achümi.[3][4]
History
The first Miss Nagaland competition took place in 1989. Since 1991, the Beauty & Aesthetics Society of Nagaland has been organizing the beauty pageant.
