Madurai and the surrounding Madurai-Virudhunagar-Sivagangai belt is one of South India's most significant gold consumption zones.

The city's large concentration of Nattukotai Chettiar community jewellers, who have centuries of expertise, offers access to traditional South Indian designs. Buying temple jewellery-style ornaments here is more authentic than in metro cities.

GST of 3% is applicable on all gold purchases in India. For investment gold (coins, bars), making charges are typically lower than jewellery. Always insist on a BIS hallmark certificate when buying gold in Madurai.
