Rhea wowed the audience and judges in multiple rounds. For the grand finale, she stunned in a shimmering peach-golden gown. In the swimsuit round, she dazzled in a metallic red bikini, and during the costume round, she made a bold cultural statement by carrying a Shivling, dressed in a striking white-red-yellow outfit with a veil.

The crown was placed on her head by none other than Miss Universe India 2015, Urvashi Rautela, who served as a judge at the event. The ‘Taj Mahal’ crown, a special symbol of India’s beauty and heritage, was a fitting prize for the new titleholder.
