Used kurtas in Thrissur typically sell for ₹150 to ₹800 (about $2 to $8). Kurtas sell on fabric and length, so state both plainly — cotton and silk sit at different prices, and kurta length varies from hip to well below the knee.
Selling a kurta 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.
Thrissur, in Kerala, has around 320,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Say either way. A kurta with matching churidar or pyjama is worth more than the top alone.
