Description

Aranmula Kannadi, also known as the Aranmula metal mirror, is a unique and traditional mirror craft that originates from the village of Aranmula in the southern Indian state of Kerala. It is renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship, distinct design, and cultural significance. Aranmula Kannadi is not a typical glass mirror but is made of a special metal alloy.

Unlike regular glass mirrors, Aranmula Kannadi is made from a special combination of metals, including copper and tin. The exact composition is a closely guarded family secret passed down through generations of artisans.These mirrors are entirely handcrafted, and the making of an Aranmula Kannadi is a highly skilled and labor-intensive process. Skilled artisans shape, polish, and finish each mirror individually.
