The Aranmula Kannadi Ashtamangalyam Valkannadi is a GI-tagged Kerala heritage handheld mirror featuring the eight auspicious symbols of the Ashtamangalyam tradition — one of the most sacred and culturally significant forms of this ancient craft from Aranmula village. Handcrafted from a secret copper-tin alloy by master artisans, this is a mirror that carries both spiritual meaning and extraordinary craftsmanship.
The Ashtamangalyam — the eight auspicious symbols of Kerala's Hindu tradition — includes the conch (shankha), lamp (deepam), elephant (gajam), and other sacred motifs that together represent prosperity, purity, and divine blessing. Incorporating these symbols into the Valkannadi (handheld mirror) form makes this piece especially prized for rituals, ceremonies, and auspicious gifting.
Unlike glass mirrors, Aranmula Kannadi is front-reflecting: the reflective surface sits on the face of the metal, not behind it. This eliminates the ghost image of conventional mirrors and produces a cleaner, spiritually purer reflection. Each piece is individually cast, filed, and polished by hand over several weeks — no two are identical.
The golden and silver tones of the alloy lend a quiet, enduring luxury to this piece. It is equally suited to a puja room, a ceremonial display, or a curated heritage collection.

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
