Sovereign vs Pavan vs Savaran - Same Thing
All three terms refer to the same weight - 8 grams of gold:
• Sovereign: the colonial English term, still used across South India
• Pavan: Tamil Nadu and Kerala - from the Tamil 'pavan' (meaning pure/gold)
• Savaran: Karnataka - the Kannada term for sovereign
All three = 8 grams exactly. The IBJA rate per gram is the same for all.
How to Calculate the Sovereign Rate
Sovereign rate = IBJA per-gram rate × 8 × Purity fraction
For 22K:
₹13,965/g × 8 = ₹1,11,752 per sovereign
For 24K:
₹15,250/g × 8 = ₹1,22,000 per sovereign
Check ibja.co for the live per-gram rate, then multiply by 8 to get today's sovereign rate.
