Gold rate in Hyderabad, what to know before you buy or sell
The old city around Charminar and the showrooms of Abids, Somajiguda and Banjara Hills offer everything from heavy bridal sets to light daily pieces. Weddings and festivals such as Ugadi, Dasara and Akshaya Tritiya are the busiest times. Many Hyderabad designs are set with pearls and stones, and these add weight that is not gold. Ask for the net gold weight on the bill, and check that the making charge is applied to that weight, not to the total.
