Karnataka has a rich tradition of gold jewellery, with distinct styles across regions — the Mysore style is known for its intricacy and craftsmanship. Bengaluru's booming IT economy has created a large, young, high-income gold buying class. The state's gold market has grown significantly in the past decade driven by IT sector wealth.
The Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru handles significant gold import traffic due to the city's large NRI population and IT workforce returning from abroad.
Chickpet Jewellers Street in Bengaluru, Devaraja Market jewellery section in Mysuru, Sirsi Road gold market in Hubli, Bunder area in Mangaluru.
Dasara (October) is Karnataka's biggest festival and sees massive gold purchases especially in Mysuru. Akshaya Tritiya and wedding season (November–February) are also major buying periods.
Buy only BIS hallmarked gold. Look for the BIS logo, purity mark (916 for 22K, 999 for 24K), year of marking, and jeweller's identification mark on every piece.
Always ask for gold rate, making charges, and GST separately in writing. Making charges range 8–25% and are negotiable. Get an invoice that shows all components.
If the goal is investment, Sovereign Gold Bonds give the same price appreciation plus 2.5% annual interest, and capital gains are tax-free at maturity. Physical jewellery has high making charges that erode returns.
Rates are calculated from XAU/INR spot + 15% import duty + 3% GST. Actual Karnataka jeweller prices vary by city and jeweller. Always confirm with your jeweller on the day of purchase.
