Aranmula Kannadi (ആറന്മുള കണ്ണാടി)
Aranmula Kannadi, literally means Aranmula Mirror, is a handmade metal-alloy mirror, unlike the usual glass mirror. It is produced only in Aranmula, a village in the Pathanamthitta district.
What is unique about this mirror is that, it is a front surface reflection mirror, which means it eliminates secondary reflections that are typical of back surface mirrors that we find in everyday use. The reflection formed in an Aranmula Mirror doesn’t get refracted, unlike common glass mirrors.
Aranmula Mirror is of three types.
The back stand
The fixed stand
The hand mirror
Aranmula Mirror making process cannot be duplicated as its details are known only to family members belonging to Aranmula and is kept as a family secret. Mirror making process is a closely guarded secret.
In 2004, this rare craft belonging to a small village in Kerala was given world wide recognition when a 45 centimetre tall Aranmula Mirror was placed in London’s British Museum  and awarded a geographical indication (GI) tag.
