Buying gold is a tradition that’s thousands of years old in Hindu culture. It’s more than just a shiny gift—it’s sacred. When two families come together, gold is always part of the exchange. The bride? Drenched in gold. Relatives? Gifting gold like it’s candy. Over time, this beautiful tradition turned into a bit of a status symbol. The more gold at the wedding, the louder the town talks. No gold? No gossip.

Weddings Up, Gold Soars

Yet, right when we start shopping, the global market decides to party too. Prices rise thanks to international demand, geopolitical drama, and trade wars. Coincidence? Maybe. Convenient? Definitely not.

So yes, while India buys the most, it doesn’t get to bargain. Classic.
