In a conversation with Guinness World Records, Srikanth said, "In India, we have a tradition of worshipping our Gods with garlands of flowers and individual flowers are used as an offering. The flowers signify the essence of purity."
The video shared by Guinness World Record shows the making of the ring. The ring that set a world record has six layers. The first five layers have eight petals each. The last layer features six petals with three filaments in the centre.
The official website states that the process began in September 2018. Once the design was complete, computer-aided design (CAD) was used to know the required number of diamonds.
