Offline registrations
After two years of online pageant operations, from registration to auditions, Femina Miss India 2023 was held entirely offline. Contestants from all over the country auditioned in front of a panel of experts in a venue chosen for the zonal division. Following the audition, the organization's social media account revealed the state finalists, from which the 29 state representatives were chosen, in addition to a collective representative for the Union Territories. These 30 finalists went through rigorous training and grooming activities. Furthermore, former Miss India and Bollywood actress Neha Dhupia was a mentor to the state delegates.
Activities in Manipur
The 30 state representatives arrived at Imphal International Airport on April 7, 2023.[5] They were received by crowning all of them with a Kajenglei (traditional Meitei female headdress) each and Leirum Lengyan (traditional Meitei shawl) each.[6] On 9 April, they visited the historic Kangla Fort located in the heart of Imphal city, where they were photographed and had videos shot for the pageant. During the shoot, the contestants were photographed at the temples (including the Pakhangba Temple, Kangla), fort ruins and the twin Kanglasha dragon statues.[7] They attended a self defense session organised exclusively for them at the Khuman Lampak Main Stadium.[8]
On 10 April, the state representatives visited the Loktak lake for their filming.[9] After that, they visited the Indian National Army Memorial Complex (INA Memorial) in Moirang.
