What’s safer for women– gold or mutual funds?

I’ve heard of ELSS Mutual Funds for saving tax. How are they different from regular funds?
ELSS (Equity-Linked Saving Scheme) funds allow you to save up to ₹1.5 lakh in taxes under Section 80C. They come with a 3-year lock-in and are equity-based, so they offer both tax benefits and potential wealth creation.
