Femina Miss India South is a regional beauty pageant established in 2008 by the Times Group. Initially, it selected one representative from each of the five southern states: Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana to compete in the national Femina Miss India pageant. Starting in 2017, the format changed, with individual winners chosen from each state to represent their respective regions at the national level.
Auditions are held in a selected city within the five states. Contestants from all across these five states will participate in a multi-stage audition process. The shortlisted candidates will be announced on the Femina Miss India social media handle. Subsequently, the five state winners will be crowned at a zonal crowning ceremony. These five winners will then represent their states at the national pageant, Femina Miss India.
Since the introduction of the regional format at Femina Miss India, South India has been the most successful region, claiming three victories out of six editions.
