The Miss/Mrs/Teen/Mr India Guyana Organization this week introduced the five contenders who will vie for the inaugural Mr India Guyana title this year. Despite being unable to launch on May 5 as planned owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, contenders and organizers are still anticipating the competition.

The five men who are set to make history are: Avishkar Jaikaran, Mario Moonsammy, Paul Andrew Dwarka, Ranjeet Bramnarain and Shazam Somwar.

In a release, the India Guyana Pageant Organization said, “The organization believes that this platform will be a solid support system in allowing our men of Indian origin to better be equipped with our traditional values and actively share these teachings to the wider community.

It will also allow them to use this title to establish or enhance any form of cultural, social or entertainment platforms of their own. Our history has a fusion of successful men in all areas of Indian culture and it is our hope that by creating this title it will be able to introduce many more iconic names to add to that prestigious legacy.”

While the date for the actual competition has been postponed, the men are expected to have virtual training in the intelligence category with pageant coach Alicia Bess. They will be trained by another coach in the other categories. Alicia will also the coach for the other categories for the women competing in the Miss, Mrs and Teen pageants.

A new date for the local pageants as well as information on how they will be carried out is still pending. Miss India Worldwide is tentatively set for October 4 -10 in Mumbai.
