Gold prices in Kerala have seen a decline following international market trends. Currently, one sovereign of gold is priced at ₹1,04,720, and one gram costs ₹13,090. Silver prices stand at ₹234.90 per gram. Factors such as the Middle East conflict, rising crude oil prices, strengthening US Dollar, and potential Fed rate hikes have influenced this volatility.

The common belief that stealing a money plant brings wealth is a myth according to Vastu and religious principles. Vastu Shastra states that taking something without permission invites negative energy, causing mental stress and disputes. In Hinduism, stealing is considered a bad karma that cannot yield positive results. The correct way to bring a money plant home is by purchasing it or getting a cutting from a known person with love. Placing it in the South-East direction, associated with Lord Ganesha and Venus, is considered auspicious. Keeping a dry or withered plant is discouraged as it attracts negativity. https://www.tv9hindi.com/religion/stolen-money-plant-for-wealth-debunking-the-myth-and-vastu-truth-3850653.html
