Selling a kurta in Cuttack
Cuttack is an old commercial and craft city known for its silver filigree work, a tradition that has run for centuries. Fine metalwork and traditional jewellery appear here in a way they do not elsewhere in the region.
The craft trade keeps silver and metalwork circulating locally. The city sits between rivers and the monsoon is heavy, so how something was stored is a fair and necessary question.
The old commercial areas are dense and congested and best reached on foot or by two-wheeler. The newer parts of the city drive easily enough.
On silver filigree, check the solder joints and the fine wire in daylight. Repairs are common on older pieces and are much easier to see in person than in a photograph.
Cuttack, in Odisha, has around 660,000 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. Bhubaneswar, Rourkela and Brahmapur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Put in the description

Very light and folds small, so cheap to post anywhere, and international buyers are common for good cotton and handloom pieces. Fold with tissue if there is delicate neckline embroidery so the threads do not catch.
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.
