In short

Gold and silver prices were being tracked on 21 October across Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and other cities. One report said 22K gold jewellery prices dipped during Dussehra on October 20, 2026.

This matters for shoppers and investors watching festive-season prices. The report does not give the exact retail rates or say how far prices fell.
