What is a vori (bhori)
The vori (bhori) is the Bengali name for the tola — the same 11.6638 grams. Gold in Bangladesh is quoted per vori, and the jewellers' association publishes official per-vori rates for each purity. One vori splits into 16 ana, so shops sometimes quote per ana as well.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams is one vori?
One vori equals 11.664 grams. The figure is fixed, so any quote converts directly: gram price × 11.664.
How much is a vori of 22K gold?
The computed metal value is BDT 181,256 — 91.6% of the pure-gold price per vori. Jewellers add making charges and margin on top, and pay below this when buying back.
Why does the jeweller's price differ from the computed one?
We show the contained metal value at the exchange price and the official FX rate. Retail prices add making charges, taxes, hallmarking fees and shop margin; buy-back prices subtract a refining discount. The computed figure is a benchmark: it shows how much actual gold a piece holds.
