It's practised in most of the Indian Households, the economic class that can afford to do so. Gold and silver are considered auspicious in Indian Hindu culture and theu are supposed to bring prosperity and luck. Few days in a year are considered auspicious to buy these precious metals. One is Dhanteras, two days before Diwali and the other is Akshay tritiya. People buy gold and silver on these days. Every one depending on their economic strata and financial capacity try to bring one of these precious metals in some form to their households. I have practised the ritual of buying a gold coin on every Dhanteras since the last two decades. I plan to continue to do that. I have invested in to a program by one of the trusted brands in the country. I pay monthly installments to buy this at once.
