Along with other contestants, Miss Philippines Ariella Arida and Miss India Manasi Moghe are seen bonding together at Moscow's Red Square before the ladies are about to showcase their catwalk skills at Yamamay Fashion Show and Tony Ward Couture Fashion Show. The two beauty queens are on their quest of winning their country's third crown for the Miss Universe. Both have big chances to be hailed as the new Miss Universe 2013.

Reigning Miss Universe Olivia Culpo were also spotted bonding with the girls as they wait for the final judgment on MU's coronation night on Nov. 9 at Crocus City Hall.

The Red Square and Bolshoi Theater tour was the first event and the girls were extremely excited to go around Russia's capital historical places.

Moghe had her eyes set for the crown when she won the title to represent her country to the most prestigious beauty contest in the world. She was crowned Miss Diva on Sep. 5 at Hotel Westin Mumbai Garden City and bested 14 finalists of the pageant. She is the 50th Miss India to represent the country in the 62nd Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow, Russia.

During an interview with India Times, the 22-year-old beauty queen revealed her thoughts of competing for Miss Universe 2013. "The feeling of being first Miss Diva is just amazing. I'm the 50th Miss Universe India. So definitely this is something very special and it is a unique feeling for me but at the same time it is a big responsibility too," Moghe said.

Miss Philippines Ariella Arida is also determined to win her country's third MU crown after three Philippines' contestants landed on the top 5 for three consecutive years. The most recent was Miss Universe 2012 First Runner-up Janine Tugonon who almost bagged the crown from Miss USA Olivia Culpo.

Arida is under so much pressure after Megan Young won the crown for Miss World 2013 and Johanna Datul won the crown for Miss Supranational 2013 for the pride of the Philippines.

With so much at stake for this year's competition, who will bring home from these two ladies the elusive crown?
