Aranmula Round Wall Hanging Kannadi/Mirror

An Authentic Kerala Metal Mirror Crafted Through Generations of Tradition.

The Aranmula Round Wall Hanging Kannadi is a handcrafted metal mirror made in the village of Aranmula in Kerala.

This rare craft has been preserved by a small group of artisan families for generations and is recognised as one of India's most distinctive traditional handicrafts.

The round wall-hanging design makes it suitable for home décor, pooja rooms, entryways, and gifting. Traditionally regarded as a symbol of prosperity and auspiciousness, the Aranmula Kannadi holds a special place in Kerala's cultural heritage. Each mirror is made to order, making every piece unique in its craftsmanship and detailing.
