Krishnah moving to the quarterfinals comes after she placed in the top 32 for the Miss World Sports Challenge after placing top eight for Asia and Oceania and top two for overall badminton.
The challenges are a change of pace for Krishnah and the rest of the Miss World delegates, who have spent the early part of their stay in India discovering some of the country's tourist attractions. Just last week, Krishnah was at the Buddhavanam, a “Buddhist theme park” that covers a total of 279 acres and offers features like the Entrance Plaza featuring eight auspicious Buddhist symbols, the Buddhacharita Vanam that features the major events from the life of the Buddha, the Jataka Vanam that features the stories of Bodhisattva, the Dhyana Vanam or the meditation park, the Stupa Vanam that features miniature stupas from the Buddhist sites of India and Southeast Asia, and the Maha Stupa, which is the center of the Buddhavanam.
During the send-off for Krishnah at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, the Miss World Philippines organization described Krishnah as carrying the “pride and dreams” of the nation to the international stage. The organization also called on Filipinos to show their love and support as she embarks on her pageant journey.
Since arriving in Telangana, India, Krishnah also wowed audiences during the Dances of the World opening ceremony at the Miss World pageant, wearing a costume made by designer Simeon Cayetano.
