Why gold is bought on Diwali
Diwali is India’s biggest festival for gold buying. Families often purchase gold jewellery, coins, and bars during Diwali week as a symbol of prosperity.
- Gold buying is considered auspicious and linked with Lakshmi Puja.
- Jewellers run major offers and discounts during Diwali season.
- Demand rises sharply which increases search volume every year.
How to read these numbers
Each year's figure is the 24K metal rate on (or just before) Diwali that year, so the trend reflects the real market on the day families were actually buying. Jewellery cost more on the day — add making charges and GST — but this metal line is the honest benchmark to judge any jeweller's quote against.
Indicative India bullion prices; festival-day figures use the latest available rate on or before each festival date.
FAQs
On Diwali 2025, 24K gold was about ₹13,071/g and 22K about ₹11,982/g — pure metal, before making charges and GST.
No — these are pure-metal market rates. A jewellery bill adds making charges, GST and the jeweller's margin on top.
Not by itself — prices track global markets. Indian demand rises in festival season, which can lift local premiums, while jewellers may offer making-charge discounts.
