  Four Tibetan girls will compete this year for Miss Tibet crown next month. Dolkar, 24, from Dehra Dun; Ngawang Choying, 18, from Darjeeling; Tenzin Choezom, 20, from Dharamshala; and, Yeshi Lhamo, 24, from Bir, will go through a series of contest planned out by the organizers for them. The event has been renamed this year as ‘Spice India Splendour Miss Tibet Pageant 2009’ due to its sponsor, Spice India Splendour owned by industrialist Bhupendra Kumar Modi. 
When the first ever Miss Tibet pageant was held here in 2002 it instantly became a hit with media from all over converging on this north Indian hill town to get the ‘interesting’ story. Over the years, the number of participants has not gone up as expected by the organizers. It was one girl show in 2003 and 2005 when the crown winner had no contenders. Only 28 girls have competed for the crown since it was first started eight years ago with the private initiative of Lobsang Wangyal, a Tibetan man who faced criticism from some sections including the prime minister Samdhong Rinpoche for the pageant that they said was ‘un-Tibetan’ and ‘against Buddhist principles’.
