What a proud moment for Hyderabad! 😍 Charminar looks even more beautiful with these international beauties. Our heritage sites getting global recognition through events like Miss World is truly wonderful. Hope they enjoyed the famous Hyderabadi pearls and bangles at Laad Bazaar!

While I appreciate the international exposure, I hope the organizers ensured proper crowd control. Charminar area is always crowded and these events sometimes create unnecessary chaos for daily visitors. Otherwise great initiative to showcase our culture!

The cultural visit to Buddhavanam on Buddha Purnima was such a thoughtful inclusion! 👏 This shows how India's spiritual diversity can be shared with the world. Hope the contestants took back beautiful memories of our traditions along with those Hyderabadi pearls!

As a Hyderabadi, I'm thrilled to see our city hosting such prestigious events. But I hope the local authorities also focused on cleaning and maintaining the Charminar surroundings properly before this visit. Our heritage deserves permanent care, not just during international events.

The photo at Charminar must be stunning! Such a perfect blend of our Mughal architecture with global beauty. I'm glad they included traditional shopping - nothing represents Hyderabad better than its pearls and lac bangles. Hope they tried some biryani too! 😋

While the event is glamorous, I hope the contestants also learned about the real Hyderabad beyond the tourist spots. Our city has so much to offer in terms of history, technology and warm hospitality. Maybe next time they can visit our IT hubs too!
