Litro Gas will also be hosting a fun-filled and interactive cookery competition among pageant contestants on the 19th of next month.
The sparkling crown studded with Ceylon stones, presently being designed and crafted by Fine Jewellery Company, will be worn by the winner who will also serve as a tourism promotion ambassador for Sri Lanka during her period of reign.
