Rs 1 Lakh For Dhanteras Gold: How Much Gold Do You Actually Take Home?
NDTV Profit 2 hrs ago·27 Oct 2026, 8:41 am
Dhanteras, a key festival in the Hindu calendar, is traditionally a peak time for buying gold. Retail investors often look to this period to purchase physical assets, viewing them as a store of value. However, the price of gold is quoted per unit of weight, such as grams or tolas, rather than per coin or bar. This difference between the nominal price and the actual weight received is a crucial detail for buyers to understand.
For investors, this means the value of their purchase depends on the purity of the metal and the precise weight of the item. A higher price per gram might not always translate to a higher total value if the weight is lower. Understanding the weight-to-price ratio helps investors compare different offerings and ensure they are getting the true market value of the gold they intend to buy for the festival.
