About the Gold Market in Pune

Pune is renowned for Kolhapuri-style gold jewellery — bold, statement designs inspired by the Peshwa era of the Maratha Empire. Laxmi Road is the city's traditional jewellery corridor, home to dozens of established jewellers serving generations of Pune families. The city hosts a significant goldsmithing community and is a major wholesale supplier to smaller Maharashtrian towns. Pune is also witnessing growing NRI gold remittance flows, as its large diaspora sends gold and gold-backed gifts from abroad.

Gold Culture & Heritage in Pune

Pune's gold culture reflects its Maratha and Peshwa heritage. Maharashtrian brides wear distinctive pieces like the Thushi (short choker necklace), Nath (large nose ring), Kolhapuri Saaj (bead necklace with gold pendant), and Putli Haar (figurine necklace). These designs are bolder and heavier than typical North Indian jewellery. Laxmi Road during Gudi Padwa sees festive gold shopping, and the city's gold artisans are known for their expertise in traditional Maharashtrian motifs.
