Aranmula Mirror or Aranmula Kannadi is a mirror, handmade using metal alloy which is being done only at a place named Aranmula at Pathanamthitta district in Kerala.<\/p>\n

In an Aranmula mirror, the reflection happens in the surface itself without any refraction and is being reflected with complete clarity where as in a glass mirror the reflection falls on the mercury coated inside the glass<\/strong><\/p>\n

The secret of making Aranmula Mirror now holds only with 7 families at Aranmula and is listed in Geographical Indications (GI) in India under the category Handicrafts(A geographical indication (GI) is a name or sign used on certain products which corresponds to a specific geographical location or origin (e.g. a town, region, or country). India, as a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO).<\/p>\n

The secret in this making of Aranmula Mirror lies in the ratio of metals used in the alloy. We have visited one of the families make Aranmula mirror which is a perfect souvenir to take on Kerala as well to gift some one.
The alloy use to make this mirror\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two dies are placed apart with the required thickness
\"\"The die is then kept inside this and alloy is kept above the space to melt down\"\"<\/a> This is then kept in furnace to heat where the alloy melts and gets in between the die\"\"<\/p>\n

The die is broken out to get the metal sheet which is being polished in a row to get the reflected surface of Aranmula Mirror<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"The outer craft is made separately to fix the mirror inside\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
<\/a>This\u00a0is a perfect gift as well a souvenir to take home after your Kerala tour. People use to gift this mirror when they go for wedding or during auspicious days.
