Shwetha Jayaram from Kerala Crowned Alcazar Watches & DQUE Miss Queen of India 2025

In a dazzling celebration of beauty, confidence, and culture, Shwetha Jayaram from Kerala was crowned Alcazar Watches & DQUE Miss Queen of India 2025 at a spectacular event held on May 26th at Le Meridien, Kochi. The prestigious title was closely followed by Livya Liffy from Kerala as the first runner-up and Kavya Bali from Jammu & Kashmir as the second runner-up.

The title winner was crowned by Pegasus Chairman Dr. Ajit Ravi and Jebitha Ajit, Managing Director of Pegasus Global Pvt. Ltd. The first runner-up was crowned by Sajan Varghese, Chairman & MD of SAJ Hotels and Resorts, and Dr. Jolly Antony, Chairman of Vibe Munnar and Managing Director of Fog Resort & Spa. Dr. G. N. Ramesh, Rotary Governor, and Major Ravi crowned the second runner-up.

A total of 14 contestants, handpicked from across the country, participated in the competition after undergoing expert-led grooming sessions. The contestants battled it out in three graceful rounds — Traditional (Lehenga), Western wear, and the Grand Evening Gown showcase. Pegasus, the event production company, continues to lead the way in ethical pageantry by being the only organization in India to exclude the bikini round. Their flagship event, Miss Queen of India, has evolved into a stepping stone to elite international pageants such as Miss Asia, Miss Asia Global, and Miss Glam World.
