Profile

Rameshbhai was born Uganda in 1948 to the proud parents Mohanbhai and Kanchanben. Both Mohanbhai and Kanchanben were very religious and virtuous.

Rameshbhai’s father Mohanbhai was a well known personality in the Parajiya Pattni Soni Samaj as well as in the wider Hindu community. He worked tirelessly to build the Hindu Mandir in Masaka, Uganda. His community spirit awakened when he moved to UK and played a pivotal role to form the Parajiya Pattni Association (PPA). Further reading Memorial - Mohanbhai Nathoo Ghaghada, Leicester

Like father, like son, Rameshbhai followed his father’s footsteps to serve both the Hindu community and Parajiya Pattni Soni Samaj.

After completing his high school education in 1966 in Masaka, he left for Poona (now called Pune), India for further studies at the famous Wadia College.

Rameshbhai is now happily settled in Leicester, UK for the last 40 years. He has always put his family first, but would go out of his way to help others when asked, willingly and graciously.

Rameshbhai Mohanlal Pattni has been duly and deservedly acknowledged for his good deeds by Shree Santan Mandir in Leicester.

I extend my Congratulations on being honoured by Shree Sanatan Mandir and wish Rameshbhai many more happy years ahead serving the community.
