Though physical beauty remains the chief requirement for the participants in beauty pageants, judges try hard to churn out the mental capacities of the contestants as well.

The event was strategically planned to take place on the eve of International Women's Day, so that it could be seen as a programme to promote a cause.

14 Indian and 15 foreign models took part in the competition.
