Quick answer
One tola is 11.66 grams, though many Indian jewellers round a tola to 10 grams when quoting rates. One troy ounce, used for international gold prices, is 31.10 grams. In South India a sovereign (pavan) is 8 grams. Older units: 1 tola = 12 masha, and 1 masha = 8 ratti, so a ratti is about 0.12 grams.
