The Bangladesh Jewellers Association has updated today that gold prices have decreased by Tk 2,216 per bhori in Bangladesh. Therefore, 22-carat gold is now at Tk 258,824 per bhori (11.664 grams), which is based on the values of pure tejabi. For those who are budgeting for a wedding in 2026, this drop in price provides an exceptionally good opportunity to buy gold at a low price, especially when you consider how erratically gold prices have fluctuated over the last few months on a global basis.
Why the Sudden Gold Price Drop?
BAJUS explained that this adjustment is due to the decline in the value of local tejabi gold, and it is effective immediately. In January 2026, gold prices increased to almost Tk 661,240 per ounce, then went down to much lower levels. According to the most recent data, the value of 24K gold is around Tk 15,767 per gram.
The recent example of a major dip in gold prices took place at the beginning of 2026, when gold reached a record low of Tk 1,458 per bhori. With the timing of this adjustment more closely aligned with pre-wedding shopping peaks for shaadi jewellery, it also creates a great opportunity for Bangladeshi families planning weddings to find good deals on shaadi jewellery prior to the wedding date.
