Selling model trains in Mysuru
Mysuru is a heritage city with silk and sandalwood traditions, a pleasant climate and a notably relaxed pace of trade. It is greener and less congested than most cities of its size, and goods hold condition well here.
Tourism and the university both bring people through, and the mild climate means stored goods survive better than in most of the country. Turnover is steady rather than seasonal.
The city is easy to drive with genuine parking availability, which makes furniture collection simple. The palace area is congested during festival periods and worth avoiding then.
On silk, ask whether it is handloom and check the weave in daylight. The trade here is long established and a straight question generally gets a straight answer.
Mysuru, in Karnataka, has around 920,000 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. Bengaluru, Hubli and Mangaluru are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
