Why Gold Prices Are Rising
Gold prices have jumped nearly 66% from last Dhanteras, when 24-carat gold was Rs 78,493 per 10 grams. Analysts link this sharp rise to global inflation, a weakening rupee, and rising safe-haven demand amid geopolitical tensions. Over the last two years, gold has delivered a compounded annual growth rate of 46.84%, making it a preferred asset for investors and households alike.
The Significance Of Dhanteras
Dhanteras, also known as Dhantrayodashi, marks the start of Diwali festivities. According to Hindu belief, Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Dhanvantari are worshipped on this day for wealth and well-being. Many consult the Panchang to find the Shubh Muhurat or auspicious time for purchases, with jewellery stores across India witnessing high footfall.
