Before you buy gold today, check the current rate in your city since prices differ based on local taxes and demand. Always look for BIS hallmark certification and a six-digit HUID code to confirm purity and authenticity. Know the difference between 24K, 22K, and 18K gold. 24K is pure and ideal for coins or bars, 22K is commonly used for jewellery, and 18K is popular for designer pieces. If you’re buying jewellery, compare making and wastage charges, as these can raise the overall cost. If your goal is investment, gold coins or bars often offer better value than heavy ornaments since they have lower design costs. Always ask for a detailed bill showing purity, weight, and charges, and check if your jeweller provides a buy-back or exchange option. Those opting for digital gold should verify how it’s stored and what the buy-back policy is. Once you’ve made your purchase, store your gold securely in a bank locker or insured home safe to safeguard your festive investment.

This dip in prices makes today a favourable time for buying gold on the festive occasion.

Thinking of buying gold and silver this Dhanteras? Other than tradition, there is a practical side to it. "India's "investment share" of gold demand is rising; buyers are gravitating toward coins and bars over expensive jewellery as fabrication costs bite. But record highs come with trade-offs: jewellery demand is forecast to weaken this festive season," Inderbir Singh Jolly, CEO of PL Wealth Management, told GoodReturns. Emphasising the fact that more people are buying gold as an investment in coins and bars rather than expensive jewellery, so jewellery sales may be slower this festive season. He also adds, “Gold bridges two worlds: it's a prayer to tradition and a hedge in portfolios. For investors, the message is clear: buy thoughtfully, balance ritual with risk, and lean into quality, liquidity, and portfolio allocation—not emotional impulse.” So while gold is part of tradition, people should buy it wisely focusing on quality, easy-to-sell forms, and not just following rituals or emotions.
