It's a spiritually significant day, marking the start of Satya Yuga, the descent of Ganga, and the birth of goddess Annapurna. This makes buying gold on this day even more special.
  
  

• Navratri: Navratri, dedicated to Goddess Durga, isn't only for worship—it's the ideal time to get new things, like gold jewellery. Why? This act invokes the goddess's blessing. And hey, gifting becomes a big deal too! The cultural vibe is all about sharing precious moments, often in the form of shiny gold and silver.

• Diwali/Dhanteras: Dhanteras starts  the five-day Diwali festival, and it is considered auspicious for buying gold. Marking the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil, this day is all about wealth and prosperity. Gold, always linked with Goddess Lakshmi, adds to the buyer's prosperity & believed to have protective powers. Thus, silver and gold coins gain immense popularity on this day. 
  
  

• Pushyami - A day with Pushya Nakshatra's influence is like a golden opportunity in Hindu belief—ideal for money moves, like land or gold investments. There are special times called 'Muhurats' during these days. If this happens on a Thursday, the Guru Pushya Amrit Yoga, brings better fortune.
  
  

• Balipratipada: Balipratipada is Diwali's fourth day, celebrating Lord Vishnu's victory over demon king Bali. People buy gold during Diwali, and Balipratipada adds to the festival's symbolism of wealth, prosperity, and divine blessings.
