The sheer charm of our Aranmula Valkannadi (Drop-shaped Mirror)! This is not just an ordinary mirror - it's a glimpse into a world of tradition and culture. The Valkannadi is crafted from an assortment of metal alloys including copper and tin. It captures the essence of luxury with its golden and silver tones. Do not miss the main element, the Aranmula Valkannadi in the shape of a graceful water drop, symbolizing purity and the flow of positive energy.
The drop shape, also known as teardrop or paisley form, holds special significance in Indian art and spirituality. It represents the mango leaf (considered auspicious), the flame of a lamp (symbolizing enlightenment), or a drop of divine nectar. This elegant form has been used in Indian decorative arts for centuries and is believed to bring prosperity and good fortune.
Aranmula Kannadi is a unique metal mirror handcrafted using a secret alloy formula that has been guarded and passed down through generations of artisans in Aranmula village, Kerala. Unlike conventional glass mirrors, these are made from a precise combination of copper and tin, polished to perfection. The mirrors are front-reflecting, meaning the reflective surface is on the front of the metal rather than the back, eliminating the secondary ghost image found in glass mirrors and creating a clearer, more auspicious reflection.
The drop-shaped design is both aesthetically pleasing and spiritually significant. The smooth curves and elegant proportions make it a stunning decorative piece, while the traditional craftsmanship ensures each mirror is a unique work of art. The golden and silver tones shimmer beautifully, creating a luxurious appearance that enhances any space.
