Aranmula Kannadi (FS026)

Discover the Magic of Aranmula Kannadi: Handcrafted Mirrors from Aranmula Handicrafts

When you think of Kerala’s rich cultural heritage, you can’t overlook the exquisite artistry of the Aranmula Kannadi. More than just a mirror, this unique craft is a symbol of tradition, intricate craftsmanship, and timeless beauty. At the heart of this legacy is Aranmula Handicrafts, a family-run business based in the tranquil village of Aranmula, Pathanamthitta, Kerala, dedicated to preserving this ancient art form.

The Uniqueness of Aranmula Kannadi

Unlike conventional mirrors made with a reflective coating on glass, the Aranmula Kannadi is a front-surface, metal-alloy mirror. This means the reflection comes directly from the polished metal surface, resulting in a perfectly clear and sharp image without any distortion. The secret to this mirror lies in its unique metal alloy composition, which remains a closely guarded family secret passed down through generations of artisans.

Each Aranmula Kannadi is a masterpiece of precision and patience. The process begins with creating a special mold and then casting the metal alloy. The real magic, however, happens during the polishing phase. The surface is meticulously polished for several days using a series of fine cloths and a special traditional polishing paste, transforming the dull metal into a brilliant, reflective surface.
