Transgender activist Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi talks about Super Queen, her multi-city beauty contest, which seeks to bring the Kinnar community to the public eye

"Ours is a beauty contest with a purpose," says Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi, holding a cup of instant coffee. Brimming with poise, her frizzy hair forming a halo around her striking face, a bedecked Lakshmi is waiting for contestants to turn up for Delhi auditions of "Super Queen", her 10-city beauty contest for transgender people, at the swank V.P. Chest Institute auditorium near Delhi University. "It's my baby," she says, rolling her heavily kohl-ed eyes.
