WOW. I hope you can help me since you def are onto something. It is funny you tell this story since my grandfather went to india since he was in the US military. WHen the war was over, he stayed since he loved it so much and because he met his wife, who was scottish, and whos mother gave birth to her in egypt and then moved to india while in the british army. My grandfather worked on boeing aircraft and then was part of the transition team that handed the aircraft over to the government which formed Hindustan Airfract (now airindia). My grandmother became fluent in Sindh and two of my grandfathers brothers came to visit and actually ended up living there. One of my cousins is actually named Kumar. (mind you we are from italian heritage) I have had many people look at this ring. many believe it is urdu/arabic, possibly sanscrit, not tumil or punjabi. All he knows is he bought it at a market type place, something like a flea-market. Someone noted it was only worth a couple bucks. THank you for the valuation but it more the meaning that i am interested in. I would really like to know what this means. Understood but what do you think it means. What do snakes mean?

Thank you, hear is a clearer picture. I am not sure which way the ring is supposed to be read, so please understand that the picture might have to be rotated in order to make sense.

My grandfather lived in India for quite some time in Madras, Mysore, and Bangalore. When he arrived in the 1940's the first thing he bought was this ring. He has no idea what the meaning is, and after asking many people one Sikh lady told me she thinks it might be close to the Ik Onkar and mentioned something about a word tghat sounded like "kay-dar" or "key-dar," Not really sure. <BR><BR>Any help would mean a lot. He met my grandmother short after and said that this ring brought him much luck. Luck is great but I would really like to know the meaning of this ring if there is any. Thanks in advance.

Hey Guys, I posted this in the general forum but thought I would post it here as well since this ring is inspirational to me. It reminds me of my grandfather and grandmother who are both very inspirational . My grandfather lived in India for quite some time in Madras, Mysore, and Bangalore.
