Chennai: Temple Gold and the Deepest Buying Culture
Chennai may be the most gold-serious city in India. Tamil households treat gold as savings, blessing and wardrobe at once, and T. Nagar's multi-storey showrooms, some of the largest jewellery stores on earth, exist to serve that appetite. The city's signature is temple jewellery: heavy 22k sets echoing the sculpture of Tamil Nadu's temples, bought for weddings and festivals like Pongal and Akshaya Tritiya. Prices follow the national parity-plus-taxes structure per 10 grams, and Chennai's legendary showroom competition keeps making charges and wastage percentages under constant pressure.

Wastage (seethanam in local usage) is a percentage added to cover metal lost in making the piece, charged alongside making charges. It varies by design complexity and is negotiable in Chennai showrooms; it is separate from the metal rate and GST.
