Dhamtari in Chattisgarh is on the banks of Mahanadi and its tributaries. The ancient city was the dwelling of the Chalukyas around the 14th city and is just 300 km from Raipur. The tribal town attracts the maximum number of tourists during the rainy season. A primary attraction in the city is its tribal hamlets and culture, the Ravi Shankar or Gangrel dam which is the most beautiful site at sunset and its temples.
There is a demand for gold throughout the year. However, the people of Dhamtari consider gold purchases auspicious during festivals, so gold rates are generally high during such times in the city.

If you are investing in gold coins, biscuits or bars; choose 24K, which is the maximum purity. However, if you want to buy heavy gold ornaments, you can invest in 22K gold as they are durable, and the jeweller can mould them into intricate patterns. 18K gold is best when you make gold jewellery with diamonds, and other precious stones, for it holds better and protects the stone from falling off.
To evaluate gold jewellery in Dhamtari, checks its hallmark, and you will find the purity grade in the tiny triangular logo. The BIS mark also contains the identification of the hallmarking agency and jewellery and the year of the hallmark.

Dhamtari has many temples and is a well-known tourist centre that attracts devotees and tourists annually.

Gold is in its natural form and has the characteristic gold sheen. It is of maximum purity grade (24K), and its excellent for investment purposes. Gold coins and biscuits comprise 24 parts or 100% gold or 24K gold.
However, it is a malleable metal that is challenging to mould into intricate patterns. Thus jewellers mix 22 parts or 91.67% gold and 8.33% alloy like nickel, copper, silver, etc. Ornamental gold is hence of a lower purity grade or 22K.
So, a gram of 24K gold is more expensive than a gram of 22K gold.
