Seeing our Sri Lankan queen on a global stage in our traditional kandian style Saree is a moment of immense pride. And it’s not just any Kandian Saree it symbolizes our national flower, the blue water lily (Nil Manel), and was designed as a tribute to Manel Ilangakoon, the first Sri Lankan to compete in Miss World. The purple shade represents the Saheli Foundation, which she established for her Beauty with a Purpose project. Every detail is so thoughtfully planned and deeply meaningful. So Isn’t she the one who truly deserves the crown? Good luck Anudi Gunasekara - Miss World Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰 #anudigunasekara #misssrilankaworld2025
