What is a Pavan?

A Pavan is the traditional unit of gold weight used across Kerala and parts of Tamil Nadu, equal to 8 grams. It is also known as a Sovereign or Pon. The Pavan is always 8 grams regardless of purity — what changes with the karat is the price per gram, not the weight. This is why wedding gold and family savings in Kerala are so often counted in Pavan.

Why Kerala uses Pavan

Pavan is woven into Kerala's culture — weddings, gifting, and generations of jewellers have used it long before grams became the official standard. Families naturally think in Pavan, while grams remain the legal unit on bills and hallmarks. Both are used side by side, which is exactly why a simple converter is so useful. Our Pavan vs Gram guide explains this in full.

Common buying mistakes to avoid

Always confirm the exact gram weight on your bill — that is what the price is calculated on, not the Pavan count. Check the making charges and GST separately, since this calculator shows pure gold value only. And verify the purity (22K is standard for jewellery) with the BIS hallmark before paying.
