Pattni, who specialised in selling engagement and wedding rings for more than 40 years, perceived marriages in very high regard.

“A wedding is a big occasion for the couple. For the bride, it is a milestone and the ring slipping down her finger means everything. She may forget other aspects of the ceremony, but the ring is a constant reminder that there was a wedding,” he told a local daily in a past interview.
