February 21, 2026 | Gujarati Samaj of Atlanta<\/p>\n

Event Coverage by Boon Vong |<\/span> www.b-vong.com |<\/span> @boonvongphotos<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I was only able to attend for about 2 hours on Saturday but here are my photos from the perspective of back stage!\u00a0 So sad I missed the wild energy of the pageant. \ud83d\ude09 Thanks again to the wonderful and vibrant Chin community for the invite.\u00a0 And thank you so much for the certificate and traditional clothing!! (So glad I didn’t have to say anything on stage as I’m horribly awkward) I’ll have to do a photo shoot with it when I get some time!<\/p>\n
