Selling a backpack in Thrissur
Thrissur is regarded as the cultural capital of the state and is one of the largest gold jewellery trading centres in the country, with the trade concentrated around the central temple round. Its annual temple festival is among the best known in India.
The gold trade means jewellery is bought, exchanged and resold here as a matter of routine rather than as a distress sale. Gulf migration and the festival calendar both concentrate household spending into predictable periods.
The round at the centre of the city is the landmark everyone uses and everything is measured from it. It is congested, so for anything large agree a spot slightly outside rather than on it.
On gold, ask for the hallmark and the purchase bill rather than relying on the listing. WishThrift does not authenticate anything, so what the seller can physically show you is the whole of your evidence.
