Aga Khan platinum weighing ends in symbolic event
The Aga Khan, leader of the Ismaili sect, says next year’s platinum jubilee weigh‑in likely won’t reach his 210 pounds in precious metal. He plans to travel to Karachi in 1954 for a symbolic ceremony, noting his 1946 Bombay weighing reached 260 pounds with a diamond payoff used for sect charity. His followers are dispersed worldwide from Morocco to Russia, with celebrations tied to annual gifts rather than actual metal totals.
