Dhanteras 2026: Comparing Physical Gold, Coins, and Digital Gold Investment Options
As Dhanteras 2026 approaches on November 6, millions in India prepare to buy gold and silver, a traditional practice marking the start of Diwali. Buyers can choose physical gold, coins, or modern options like digital gold and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Physical gold involves making charges, storage concerns, and purity risks, while digital gold and ETFs offer lower costs and easier liquidity. Experts note that resale values vary, with jewellery often incurring the highest losses on resale compared to coins and digital gold, which have different cost and refund structures.
