Household turnover is slower and more settled than in the newer industrial cities, so what appears is usually a genuine clear-out. Heat is severe from March onwards and shapes when people arrange to meet.
The streets around the temple are dense and largely pedestrian, so anything large is collected from outside that area. The outer city is straightforward to drive.

Madurai, in Tamil Nadu, has around 1.5 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Chennai, Coimbatore and Tiruchirappalli are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Madurai
India’s second-hand market runs heavily through direct conversation — buyers expect to message, negotiate and ask questions before committing, and a listing that answers those questions up front sells noticeably faster than one that does not.
