Nikita Porwal’s remarkable journey as the new Femina Miss India World 2024 reached an exciting peak when she returned to her hometown, Ujjain. Her homecoming was a magical event, filled with traditions, pride, and unforgettable moments that celebrated her achievement. 

At Indore Airport, the atmosphere was electric as a large crowd eagerly awaited Nikita’s arrival. She received a warm welcome as fans cheered, celebrating her historic win as the first titleholder from Madhya Pradesh. Minister Tulsi Silavat praised her accomplishments, saying she brought immense glory to the state and presented her with a bouquet of flowers.

When Nikita arrived in Arvind Nagar, the celebration continued with an outpouring of love from her community. Flowers and cheers surrounded her as family and friends honoured their local queen. Her mother and grandmother performed a traditional aarti, and the joy of their reunion filled the air. Local children danced in her honour, bringing a smile to Nikita’s face and filling her heart with gratitude.  

One of the highlights of her return was a visit to the Shri Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple. Nikita had always dreamed of taking her parents to the sacred site, which is usually reserved for VIPs. “My parents wanted to visit the Garbh Grah, but it’s restricted to VVIPs. I promised them that if I won, I would take them there,” she shared. The joy she felt seeing her parents so happy made the moment even more special. After participating in rituals and receiving blessings from temple priests, she prayed for guidance as she prepared for the Miss World stage.  

Nikita’s visit to the Shri Chintaman Ganesh Temple was another important moment during her homecoming. It symbolized her gratitude for her success. Surrounded by family, she reflected on her achievements and connected deeply with her roots.

A flower shower and cheers from the crowd filled the air as her winning answer played on a loop, inspiring everyone around her. Nikita made multiple appearances on various stages throughout the event, which concluded with heartfelt celebrations at the ISKCON Temple.  

The celebrations culminated in a grand gala dinner attended by family, friends, and notable members of Ujjain. Dressed in an elegant outfit, Nikita dazzled on the red carpet. The evening featured a joyful cake-cutting ceremony and a memorable photo session, capturing moments of happiness dedicated to her achievements.  

Nikita also returned to Carmel Convent School, her alma mater, where she received a warm welcome from the nuns and staff, along with a lively performance from the school band. She lit a ceremonial lamp, and the students presented a beautiful choir and dance performance. The school principal delivered an inspiring speech that honoured Nikita’s remarkable journey.  

At a press conference at Rudraksh Hotel, Nikita expressed her gratitude: “Winning Femina Miss India 2024 feels like a dream. I am overjoyed and deeply grateful for this incredible opportunity to represent the beauty, strength, and spirit of India. This crown is not just mine; it belongs to everyone who believed in me.”  

The evening concluded with a vibrant cultural program by the Rangrez group, where Nikita showcased her exceptional talent.
