Akshaya Tritiya 2025: Gold Offers & Auspicious Timings
Akshaya Tritiya, falling on April 30th, 2025, is an auspicious day for Hindus and Jains, traditionally associated with prosperity and new beginnings. This year, jewellers across India are pulling out all the stops to attract buyers with enticing gold offers, amidst fluctuating gold prices that ranged from ₹84,490 to ₹1,02,007 per 10 grams in late April.
Attractive Gold Deals for Akshaya Tritiya 2025
Deals abound this Akshaya Tritiya! Expect offers like free 0.5-gram gold coins with purchases over ₹30,000, discounts of ₹101 per gram on gold jewellery, flat ₹3,500 discounts on 10-gram purchases, and incredibly low making charges as low as ₹1. Many jewellers are also offering rate protection plans, allowing customers to lock in today's gold price, even if prices drop by Akshaya Tritiya. This is especially appealing given the recent price volatility.
Beyond Gold: Wedding Packages & More
Some jewellers are taking it a step further. The C. Krishniah Chetty Group, for example, offers complete wedding packages (minimum ₹15 lakh) bundled with jewellery purchases, covering venue, catering, décor, and more. This caters to those seeking a one-stop shop for their wedding celebrations.
Smart Buying Strategies for Akshaya Tritiya
While the allure of free gold coins (often requiring a minimum purchase of ₹1-2 lakh) is tempting, carefully compare the value addition (making charges) against the gold rate. Also, be cautious with long-term gold savings plans. Experts recommend plans averaging the gold rupee value over the plan duration instead of locking in a specific rate.
Affordability & Old Gold Exchange
With gold prices remaining high, many buyers are exploring ways to optimize their budgets. Jewellers are offering 0% deduction on old gold exchange, facilitating upgrades with minimal loss. However, this is often limited to diamond jewellery. Consider opting for lightweight jewellery or lower karat gold (18K or 14K) to reduce costs, as suggested by industry experts.
Auspicious Timings & Puja
The auspicious time for purchasing gold and performing puja varies by city. Check online resources like Drik Panchang for precise timings in your area. Remember, Akshaya Tritiya also marks the birth anniversary of Lord Parshuram, adding spiritual significance to the day.
Conclusion
Akshaya Tritiya 2025 presents a unique opportunity to acquire gold, but smart planning is crucial. Take advantage of the numerous offers, but always compare prices and consider your budget carefully. Happy Akshaya Tritiya!
