About Astral Pageants
Astral Pageants is the culmination of a decade-long journey, evolving from participation and victories in national and international pageants to the creation of a groundbreaking platform for married women in Karnataka. Founded by Pratibha Saunshimath, we pioneered the inclusion of the Miss category alongside our established pageants, expanding to form Astral Pageants—a comprehensive organization that now caters to pageants for women, men, and children across India.
What started as Mrs. India Karnataka in 2016 has flourished into a one-stop platform for all categories of pageants, bringing together the best talents in various age groups. We have grown to host national and international level competitions, including Miss & Mrs. India, with a reputation for being the largest pageant with the highest number of participants.
Event Categories
Miss / Mrs India Astral
Miss & Mrs India Astral is a new national pageant building on Mrs India Karnataka's decade-long success. Open to contestants across India and Indians worldwide, it features categories for unmarried women 16-25 and over 25, plus three categories for married women: 22-40, 40-60, and 60+.

Mrs. India Karnataka, initiated in 2016 by its visionary Founder and Director, Pratibha Saunshimath, has grown into a prestigious platform empowering women of all ages. Over the years, it has not only enabled participants to compete and win at state, national, and international pageants but has also opened doors to the world of glamour, with many walking the fashion ramps, starring in TV commercials, serials, and movies. Beyond the spotlight, the queens of Mrs. India Karnataka have built lasting legacies by launching social service initiatives and starting their own businesses. As a state-level competition, it serves as a gateway to the national Miss & Mrs. India Astral pageant, continuing to inspire women to challenge themselves and make an impact.

An insight into Astral Pageants events
Astral Pageants offers a unique three-day experience for finalists, including themed photoshoots, video shoots, workshops, grooming sessions, talent competitions, and a grand finale with significant media attention. We have expanded beauty beyond conventional age limits, celebrating women in categories like Miss (16–25 and 25+), Mrs. (20–40, 40–60, and 60+), and were the first in India to introduce the 60+ category at a large-scale pageant.
In 2024, we launched the Miss India category for unmarried women starting at 16 with no upper age limit, breaking barriers and opening new doors for women to step into the fashion, modeling, film, and media industries. Many of our contestants have gone on to become successful entrepreneurs, using the confidence and exposure gained through our platform.
Entering the world of international pageants
Our growth continues with the addition of two prestigious international pageants: Miss & Mrs. Independent International and Mrs. Earth International, giving our contestants the honor of representing India on the global stage. Astral Pageants is not just about beauty; it is about empowerment, self-confidence, and limitless possibilities.

Here's what our Participants say about our Events and Programms!
All I learnt was that one has no need to be a model to inspire other all you need to be a role model. Mrs India Karnataka gave me that platform of being a role model and inspire many such like me. The respect, popularity and confidence I gained is only from Mrs India Karnataka and my god gifted mother Mrs Pratibha Mam.

Experience- Helped to build confidence , strong discipline, tough competition and build character. This pageant is not concentric with one’s weight , height and age, so it does not promote unhealthy ideals. For me , it was not about winning but sheer lifetime experience 😊

Helped me grow professionally and personally by building confidence , Prathibha ma’am carries such an immense positive energy and charisma that helps to build the same kind of energy with the people around her. This platform brings out the empowered women who empowers the others! The main thing what I learned here is “We believe in building together lifting each other by breaking all the stereotypes irrespective of height , size age and colour”
Winning is secondary but the memory we carry from the pageant is worth of lifetime !

Mrs. India karnataka, happened to be one of my life’s best decisions. From childhood many of us have imagined putting on a crown, but only a handful can realise such dreams even after marriage. This made my life more brighter and colourful. It’s almost living every moment of my journey with full of enthusiasm. Thanks to Prathibha Saunshimath mam, Founder of Mrs. India Karnataka, for creating such a wonderful platform for the married women. Wish you many more such successful events in the future..Loads of love.
