Aranmula Val Kannadi — The Handheld Metal Mirror of Kerala
The Aranmula Val Kannadi is a rare handheld form of Kerala's legendary metal mirror, crafted by hereditary artisans in Aranmula, Kerala, using a closely guarded alloy of copper and tin. Designed to be held in the hand, this mirror is a collector's piece that carries centuries of tradition in every polished surface.
Unlike ordinary mirrors, the Aranmula Kannadi reflects with absolute clarity and zero distortion — a quality achieved entirely through hand-polishing, with no glass or silver coating involved.
Why This Piece Stands Apart
- A handheld mirror — crafted for personal use and ceremonial occasions
- One of the eight auspicious items (Ashtamangalyam) in Kerala tradition
- Holds a Geographical Indication (GI) tag — certified authentic Indian heritage craft
- Cast from a secret metal alloy (copper & tin) — no glass, no silver coating
- Delivers a true, distortion-free reflection unlike conventional mirrors
- Each piece is entirely handmade — no two are identical

Traditional Decor Mini Gift Set - Elephant, Kathakali & Car Hanging
The cute Onam hamper beautifully captured the essence of Onam with traditional goodies and cultural touches that made it truly special. My North Indian friend loved experiencing a piece of Kerala’s traditions. The packaging was elegant and overall it made the feel extra special. Highly recommend for anyone looking to gift something meaningful and culturally rich!

The table is cool and gives a beautiful vibe to the home. Would be nice to have taller sizes as well to make a set

Could experience an impressive showcase of artistic and cultural heritage.
The quality of the saree I've purchased is top notch.
Looking forward to coming back for more ✨️

Real Walk the Talk
I purchased the product when it is shown 10% discount for first purchase but during billing it was missing. When contacted the staff they promptly responded by refunding the amount which I never expected. I have become your ambassador and recommending for my friends. Please keep it up for your growth.
