Unduk Ngadau

Unduk Ngadau is a beauty pageant held during Kaamatan in Sabah, Malaysia. The word comes from 'Runduk Tadau' which literally means 'the girl crowned by sunlight'. The Unduk Ngadau, or Harvest Festival queen, symbolizes Huminodun, the sacrificed daughter of Kinorohingan. It is also believed that she is the first who taught the Bobohizan their ritual mantras, which exist to this today.

Unduk Ngadau is not only judged based on their beauty, but also their costume, personality,  knowledge and IQ Test. So, the winner will always be the best among the best. Full package!
