Diwali, the festival of lights, brings with it a sense of joy, prosperity, and a long-standing tradition — buying gold. For decades, purchasing gold on Dhanteras or during the Diwali season has been considered auspicious across India, and Maharashtra is no exception.
With Diwali 2025 approaching (falling on October 29), many people across cities like Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, and Aurangabad are starting to track daily gold rates closely. Let’s take a look at what the current trends show and what buyers should expect this festive season.
Why Gold Buying Increases During Diwali
- Auspicious Timing: Dhanteras is one of the most favorable days in Hindu culture to buy gold, believed to bring wealth and good luck.
- Investment + Emotion: For many Maharashtrians, gold is not just a precious metal but an emotion — often passed down generations.
- Festive Discounts: Jewellers in Maharashtra offer festive schemes, zero making charges, and gold coin offers during Diwali.
- Marriage Season: Diwali kicks off the wedding season in India, increasing demand for jewellery in families.
Gold Price Trend: Will It Go Up by Diwali?
Looking at the trends from the last few years, gold prices usually rise slightly during the festive period due to high demand. Analysts suggest that prices may see a marginal increase of ₹100–₹300 per gram by the end of October.
So, if you’re planning to buy, early Diwali shopping might save you money!
