Dhanteras is on Saturday. Is it okay to buy gold on saturday?
I heard someone mention that buying gold on a Saturday brings bad luck. Honestly, that’s more myth than fact. I’ve spoken to jewellers and astrology followers, and here’s what really matters.
From a practical perspective, you can absolutely buy gold on a Saturday. Most jewellery stores and online platforms operate normally, and gold prices continue to move based on global market trends. However, there is no such rule that prevents you from buying gold on Saturdays.
Traditionally, some people avoid buying gold on Saturdays because the day is linked with Shani Dev. Others with mixed beliefs find Saturday an ideal day for long-term investments like gold. It really depends on your views and beliefs.
Personally, I look beyond superstitions. I focus on the price, timing, and purpose of the purchase. Before finalising, I make sure to:
Check global gold rates and local making charges.
Compare offers from digital platforms and trusted jewellers.
Avoid impulsive buying during festive seasons when rates jump.
Gold has always symbolised stability, so the right time to buy is when it fits your plan. If Saturday happens to offer a good price or a convenient window, there’s absolutely no reason to hold back.
In the end, buying gold is about your goals and comfort, not the day of the week. If it feels right, make your purchase with confidence. And of course, since dhanteras is on saturday, you can very well go and but gold.
Cheers!
