Revan Pradhan from Sikkim, Nawang Tshering Bhutia from Pedong, and Md.Adarsh from Siliguri Set to Shine as Contestants in Rubaru Mr. India 2023 Championship”

Sikkim and its neighbouring regions of Darjeeling have experienced a significant increase in male representation in national and international pageants in recent years. Previously, such participation was rare in these areas. Notable names like Tseteej Shiwakoty and Kunzang Topgay Bhutia from Sikkim, Bimersh Rasaily from Kurseong, and Biswajit Roy from Siliguri have graced the prestigious stage of Rubaru Mr. India. These individuals later went on to represent India on international platforms, such as Mister Global, with the opportunity to participate in upcoming events like Mister National Universe in Thailand.
This year, continuing the trend, a select group of eligible men is prepared to represent Sikkim, Kalimpong, and Siliguri in the 19th Edition of Rubaru Mr. India 2023 Championship.
One of Sikkim’s promising discoveries is Revan Pradhan, a 21-year-old from Gangtok. Revan, who stands at an impressive height of 6.3 feet, is a fitness enthusiast and passionate about adventure sports. He was discovered during auditions held on May 26th at Hotel DaysInn by Wyndham in Gangtok. Despite being new to the pageant ecosystem, Revan exudes confidence in representing the state of Sikkim in this year’s highly anticipated 19th Rubaru Mr. India 2023 Championship.
Likewise, during auditions held at Lakme Academy Siliguri, two other aspiring young men, Nawang Tshering Bhutia, a 21-year-old from the sub-town of Pedong in Kalimpong district, and Mohammad Adarsh, a 22-year-old from Siliguri, were selected to represent their respective regions at Rubaru Mr. India 2023. Nawang, currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in English Literature at Government General Degree College in Pedong, aspires to become a police officer or actor. Standing at 6 feet tall, he will be the first contestant from Kalimpong district to ever grace the national pageant. On the other hand, Md. Adarsh, who stands at 5.8 feet, is a fitness trainer, athlete, and experienced model. Nawang and Md. Adarsh are both confident and excited about their upcoming journey in the 19th Rubaru Mr. India 2023 Championship. The grand finale of the event is expected to take place in August 2023.
While Revan and Nawang are relatively new to the pageant industry, they are working diligently to bring recognition and honor to the regions they represent. In contrast, Mohammad Adarsh’s prior experience in modeling and pageantry brings a valuable advantage, but it equally pushes him to work hard with unwavering dedication and commitment on the national platform.
The auditions for the 19th Rubaru Mr. India 2023 in Sikkim, Kalimpong, and the Darjeeling District were held in Siliguri and Gangtok on May 19th and 26th which was curated by Yougan Tamang, the State Director of Rubaru Mr. India . Approximately 40 individuals participated in these auditions, which were supported by Rajson Enterprise, Voyage Hotels & Resorts, Ryzen Institute, Suyen Spa, Footprint Hotels & Travels, Lagstal Design Studio, Young Indians, Lakme Academy Siliguri, DaysInn by Wyndham Gangtok, Voice of Mirik, and Sikkim Chronicle, among others. Model/Actor Sonam Barphungpa, Filmmaker Mandira Chettri and MUA Menda Ethenpa from Sikkim also supported the event. The collaboration of these organizations and businesses helped ensure the success of the auditions, fostering the growth and recognition of talented individuals in the region.
