Ugadi or Gudi Padwa – 13 April 2023

Ugadi or Gudi Padwa is an auspicious day considered a harvest day in India. It is similar to the Makar Sankranti but due to the geographical distance between north and south, there is a 1-day gap between these two festivals.

Navratri – 15 October 2022 – 23 October 2023

Navratri has a huge significance in the Hindu way of living as this is observed for nine days which signifies the triumph of good over evil and women’s empowerment.

The puranic story behind this is that a demon king Mahishasura was given a boon by Lord Brahma of immortality from Man, animal, etc. but forgot to include Women because he considered women incapable of killing him.

This led Goddess Durga to fight this evil and resulted in the celebration of Navratri to commemorate the triumph of Navratri. In 2023, it will be observed from 15 October 2022 – 23 October 2023. these nine days can be a good time to purchase the gold.

Dussehra – 24 October 2023

Dussehra or Vijaya Dashmi is the last day of Navratri and is a specifically auspicious day because on this day Lord Ram killed the evil demon king Ravana. The word Dussehra is derived from Sanskrit which means “Das” or “Ten” and Hara which means “Defeat”.

You can purchase gold on this day as this day is considered to be auspicious throughout the world especially in Gujarat but significantly in other places as well.

Diwali – 10 November 2023

Diwali is one of the most auspicious festivals in India which is the day when Lord Ram returned to his kingdom after defeating the evil asura Ravana.
