Located in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Thanjavur is well known for its beauty. The city is renowned for its contribution to the state's agricultural production. Thanjavur is also a significant centre for the production of musical instruments and silk weaving.
In Thanjavur, wearing gold during festive events is considered auspicious. The demand for gold in Thanjavur stays all-time high during festivals and weddings. People in Thanjavur use gold mostly for jewellery and financial investment purposes.
Before learning about the gold rate in Thanjavur, you need to know about the different qualities of gold. A strip or bar of gold, or a gold coin, can be of two types - 22 karats or 24 karats (K). K is the symbol of the purity of gold and is a measure of how much gold there is in ratio to other metals. 24K gold will always be more expensive than 22K gold since it has a higher purity level.
You should verify the current gold prices in Thanjavur before buying gold or opting for a gold loan.
Anyone who purchases gold jewellery is required to pay a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 3%. GST is charged on imported gold as well. Although gold jewellery-making charges were not taxed in the past, making charges now carry 5% of the price.
The demand for gold and its liquidity has decreased as a result of the increasing gold GST rates and daily gold prices. The introduction of GST has resulted in several free trade agreements with nations that export gold.

As mentioned earlier, the price of gold varies according to its grade or purity. The World Gold Council states that the purity of 24K gold is 99.9%, and that of 22K gold is 91.67%. Gold having the 916 hallmarks denotes 22K gold (916 = 91.6% purity). It is commonly used to make jewellery. Such jewellery should have its hallmarks verified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
There are 4 things you should look for before purchasing gold items to ensure their purity -
22K or 24K gold - which should I buy?
When it comes to jewellery, 22K gold is recommended. Jewellery manufactured with 24K gold will get deformed quickly because 24K gold is extremely malleable in its pure form. 22K gold, alloyed with other metals, will be stronger and have a firmer grip over jewels embedded in it.
However, if you are looking to buy gold for long-term investment only, you may choose 24K gold, which is the purest form available.
