Gold Rate in Dhaka Today

Baitul Mukarram Gold Market & New Market — Dhaka is Bangladesh's gold capital, and the jewellers around Baitul Mukarram mosque and New Market form the country's busiest gold district. The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) sets the national rate that every shop in the country follows, quoted per tola (bhori) for 22K, 21K and 18K. Wedding buying drives the market — gold is the standard bridal gift — and the city's big jewellery houses in Gulshan, Banani and Dhanmondi serve wealthier buyers alongside the old-city souq shops.

Dhaka jewellers quote the BAJUS rate plus making charges, which vary by design — always ask for the making charge per tola separately from the gold value, and compare two or three shops. 22K is the standard for bridal sets, 21K is a popular slightly cheaper alternative, and 18K suits lightweight everyday pieces. Check the karat stamp, insist on a proper invoice with the weight and karat written on it, and keep it for resale — Bangladeshi shops buy back at the day's rate minus a small margin.

22K is the standard for bridal and everyday jewellery in Dhaka, 21K is the popular value alternative, and 18K is growing for lightweight modern designs.
