Selling an original artwork in Malegaon
Malegaon is a powerloom town, and the sheer density of looms here is the defining fact about its economy. Cloth production employs a very large share of the working population and the town’s fortunes rise and fall with the trade.
The loom neighbourhoods are dense and the lanes are narrow, so agree a main-road landmark for anything that needs a vehicle. Loom work runs in shifts, so timing is worth agreeing carefully.
On anything electrical, ask about voltage protection. Loom areas draw heavily and the supply fluctuates, which is hard on motors and compressors in ways that shorten life without ever looking like a fault.
Malegaon, in Maharashtra, has around 480,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Medium, subject and attribution: “Original Oil on Canvas, Coastal Landscape, Signed, 60x80cm”. Say “signed” only if it is, and describe the signature rather than naming an artist you cannot verify. Framed or unframed belongs in the title too.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
