Dhanteras Gold Rush 2026: November 7

Dhanteras 2026 falls on November 7, aligning with a dip in gold prices. This has increased demand for gold in India, with families buying a jhadu alongside gold as per Lakshmi rules. The festival, which denotes the onset of the Diwali shopping season, is expected to generate over Rs 1 lakh crore in business. The economic impact of Dhanteras is substantial, with the event enhancing gold purchases across the country.
