The exquisite craftsmanship involved in creating Aranmula Kannadi has earned it the prestigious status of being one of Kerala's coveted GI tagged products. Originating from the quaint village of Aranmula in Pathanamthitta district, this mirror reflects not only authenticity but also a rich tapestry of anecdotes and beliefs. Despite its medieval marvel status in metallurgy, the artisans behind Aranmula Kannadi face significant challenges, including financial struggles and health hazards due to the handcrafted production process.
