Dhanteras timing 2026 Kolkata, latest gold, silver rates today: Shopping Shubh Muhurat, best purchase time and prices
Mint 1 hr ago·6 Nov 2026, 4:37 am
Dhanteras marks the beginning of the Diwali festival, and for many in India, it is the preferred time to buy gold and silver. This year, the auspicious 'Shubh Muhurat' for Kolkata begins at 10:30 am on November 6 and runs until 6:37 am on November 7. This specific window is considered highly favorable for making purchases, as it is believed to bring prosperity and good fortune to the buyer.
For investors, the timing of these purchases can impact their portfolio's cost basis. Retail investors often use this period to increase their exposure to precious metals, viewing them as a hedge against inflation. However, gold and silver prices are subject to market fluctuations, so investors should monitor the spot rates closely during this window to ensure they are getting the best value for their investment.
