Gold Rate Today in Kolkata — Live Gold Price per Gram
Kolkata is India's goldsmithing capital — the delicate, lightweight work Bengali artisans (the karigars of Bowbazar) are known for is exported to jewellers across the country. Locals speak of sona (সোনা, gold), and while the city uses the standard Indian rupee per-10-gram quote, the Bengali tradition still counts heavier ornaments in bhori (the Bengali name for a tola, 11.664 g).
The table below converts the live international spot price into Indian Rupees (₹) at the current exchange rate and shows per gram, per 10 g, per tola/bhori and per karat, so you can benchmark a Bowbazar or Gariahat jeweller before making charges and 3% GST. 22-karat (916) is the jewellery standard.
Kolkata's making charges are often competitive precisely because so much of India's hand-crafted gold originates here, so the metal value below is a strong anchor for a fair all-in price.
