This is the first pageant for the Guyana Divya Jyoti Association.
The other contestants received awards. Special prizes went to Madhurie Raishma Ramgolam for Best Talent and Miss Congeniality, Nikito Lochan for Miss Photogenic, Sarah Madramootoo for Miss Best Sari, Truvanie Persaud for Best Smile and People’s Choice and Amisha for Miss Best Hair.

The affair, though, was bitter-sweet for the queen who said she wished both her grandmothers were there. “If I could I’d beg God to bring both of them back because one of them saw this vision of me participating in pageantry and though she didn’t tell me this, I learnt of it from another relative. My other grandmother took part in pageantry…, she danced and did her own makeup. From time to time, I would miss them, and I know that had they been here they would have been proud.
“I intend on using my reign to exhibit my tradition especially since the [sole focus] on my pageant was on saris and the Indian culture. I want to make more persons aware of the beautiful garment, the [decency and class] that comes with wearing it. Currently I’m using my Facebook page as a communication network in sharing getting this over. So far, the feedback has been great; there haven’t been any negative comments as yet and I see this idea thriving.”
Contemplating what she wants to achieve in the near future, the teen posited that she sees herself becoming a professional in her accounting profession and also participating in the Miss India Guyana pageant. She hopes to be a contestant in 2021.
“I would want people to remember me as someone inspirational and say, ‘hey she made a difference in my life and I want to make her my muse,’” she said.
