Gold rate today in Rajasthan
The 24 carat gold rate in Rajasthan is ₹ 122,155 per 10 grams and ₹ 12,215 per gram at the state benchmark. 916 (22 carat), the grade most jewellery is made from, is ₹ 111,975 per 10 grams.
In pavan terms — the unit most of southern India actually buys in — one pavan of 916 gold is ₹ 89,580 and one pavan of 24 carat is ₹ 97,724. A pavan is 8 grams.
The Rajasthan gold market
Jaipur's Johari Bazaar is a global centre for gemstone-set and handcrafted jewellery. That export orientation means hallmarking and assay standards in the organised trade are unusually consistent.
The wedding season and the tourist trade give Rajasthan two independent demand drivers, which smooths the seasonal curve compared with neighbouring states.
Buying gold in Rajasthan
On stone-set Jaipur work, the gemstones are frequently priced separately and can exceed the gold value. Ask for a line-item breakdown before comparing quotes.
Beyond that, the same four questions apply anywhere: the metal rate for the exact karat, the making charge, the wastage percentage, and the tax — each as its own number. A single all-in price cannot be compared against anything.
The background, in one place
- How gold rates are decided — spot, exchange rate, import parity and premium, with live numbers at each step.
- 22K vs 24K — every lower grade is a fixed fraction of the 24 carat price, and the guide shows the arithmetic.
- What 916 means and what a pavan is — the two terms this market trades in.
- Making charges and wastage — where two quotes on the same rate actually diverge.
- Verifying a hallmark — what the stamps guarantee, and what they do not.
