The 'Tola' is a traditional ancient Indian and South Asian unit of mass, most commonly used today to measure the weight of precious metals like gold and silver. While the metric system uses grams, jewelers still refer to gold in tolas.
Traditional mathematical 1 Tola = 11.66 grams.
Modern retail jewelry 1 Tola = 10 grams.
The term comes from the Sanskrit word 'Tula', meaning balance or scale.
1 Tola = 11.6638038 Grams
Historically, one tola was the weight of 100 ratti seeds. During British rule, it was standardized to be exactly 180 troy grains, which mathematically equals 11.6638038 grams.
For simplicity in modern transactions, many jewelers in India have rounded off the weight of 1 tola.
In most retail gold shops today, 1 Tola is considered exactly 10 Grams. However, strictly mathematically and historically, it remains 11.66 grams.
Today, when you buy 1 tola of gold in a typical Indian jewelry shop, they will give you 10 grams. Always confirm with the jeweler before purchasing.
