The secret behind the Aranmula Kannadi

More than a mirror. A reflection of generations.

A PLACE. A PEOPLE. A LIVING TRADITION.

The story behind
Aranmula Kannadi

A closely guarded alloy is cast and polished by hand to create a reflective metal surface, rather than ordinary silvered glass. Made in the village of Aranmula, these mirrors hold a place in Kerala’s ceremonial traditions. Each piece takes patient work and preserves knowledge passed down through artisan families.
