It is widely believed that purchasing gold on the occasion of ‘Akshaya Tritiya’ will increase wealth in our family. Those from middle and lower middle class families will plan to buy at least a single gram of gold on this occasion and those who are wealthy would buy as much as they can afford for it. This year, Akshaya Tritiya falls tomorrow and the day after. It is celebrated for two days. On account of this special eve, all jewelers have announced exclusive offers and discounts to peak their sales in the following two days.
As most people prefer buying gold coin during these days, special counters for gold coins are exclusively set up at most of the jewelry shops. In T.Nagar, a considerable number of pre-bookings are already done in most jewelry stores. These shops are facilitated with additional counters to help the thronging crowd.
