Buying Physical Gold - In keeping with the rest of the country, the people of Tamil Nadu purchase gold mainly in the form of jewelry. Needless to say, there are a number of jewelry establishments spread in and around the city to meet this demand. Gold rates or prices are updated on a daily basis and can be obtained from those dealing in gold or online via many financial sites. India imports most of its gold requirements from abroad. Tamil Nadu which doesn't have any significant gold production also contributes to the country's need to substantiate gold demand through imports. Even though gold is bought as jewelry, it is done for reasons beyond ornamentation. Such purchases form a part of many buyers' investment portfolio.
