The Miss Universe India 2026 finale in Jaipur features a prestigious jury led by India's first Miss Universe, Sushmita Sen. Former titleholders Celina Jaitly, Urvashi Rautela and Rhea Singha are joined by Pragya Kapoor, Visha Ladhia, Anna Blanco, Dr Stuti Khare Shukla and the Glamanand Group President. The winner will represent India at Miss Universe in Puerto Rico this November.

The crown is only one part of the Miss Universe India 2026 finale. Before one of the 52 finalists takes home the coveted title, she must impress a jury that brings together some of India's most recognisable beauty queens and entertainment personalities. With the grand finale taking place in Jaipur today, August 23, all eyes are now on the panel that will help decide India's next representative on the global stage.
