The Miss/Mrs/Teen/Mr India Worldwide Guyana franchise on Sunday hosted a sashing and medal ceremony at a private location where 14 women were sashed, and nine men honoured with medals as they prepare to compete in four categories of the pageant.

Of the 14 women, eight are competing in the Miss India Guyana category, three in the Mrs category and three in the Teen category.

One of the men is currently overseas and was therefore unable to attend the medal ceremony. This is the first time the franchise has included a Mr category. Initially it was to be introduced in last year’s pageant but that was cancelled owing to COVID-19.
