Aranmula Kannadi Mela in Trivandrum – The Hindu Report

The wonder mirror without glass – the Aranmula Kannadi has been a long-standing reflection of the State’s rich metallurgical traditions.

The takers for this fascinating mirror have only been increasing each year. However, artisans willing to carry on this unique craftsmanship are on the decline.

In an effort to popularise this tradition, an exhibition of Aranmula mirrors is being held at the SMSM Institute in the city. “The exhibition is a way to promote the artisans and encourage their efforts,” said K.J. George, an official at the institute.

The mirrors displayed come in various shapes and sizes. The frames are shaped in the form of swans, sun, conch, and lotus and the traditional ‘valkannadi’. Hand-held mirrors, mirrors on stands, and those for decorating walls are available.

This hand-made metal-alloy mirror is said to be an alloy of copper and tin, which is polished for several days to get the end product. The price for the mirrors ranges from Rs.1,600 to Rs.55,000. Theshow will end on March 31.

Valkannadi – What is special about it?

Aranmula Valkannadi
Aranmula Valkannadi

Valkannadi – or the hand mirrors are got a very special place among the aranmula kannadi models. 7 out of 10 requests we are getting everyday is of valkannadi’s. Though several models of aranmula kannadis are available, this has got a very good reputation among the models.

Valkannadi is a very traditional model of aranmula kannadi. During the early ages, the aranmula kannadi’s were made only in one model, which is valkannadi. the ladies used this valkannadi to admire their beauty, during the royal ages, and valkannadi is the most important thing in the auspicious ‘Ashtamangalya’ set.

And another fact is, the valkannadi resembles the goddess laxmi, means the goddess of wealth and prosperity. It believes that keeping an aranmula kannadi in home will invite the goddess lekshmy to the house, and that brings the wealth and prosperity to the house and its people.

Now a days, there is a variety of valkannadi models, which you can see here…

Aranmula International airport

It is a dream for everyone in Aranmula village, as well as the entire central travancore.  If things go by as scheduled, the State will have another state-of-the-art international airport in the next five years.

The company promoted by NORKA, a consortium of non-resident Keralites, and Mount Zion Trust has already appointed KITCO as a consultant for developing the private International airport at Aranmula.

The company had acquired about 500 acres of land at Aranmula in Pathanamthitta district for developing the airport.

The proposed aranmula airport is situated very near to Aranmula parthasarthi temple and pampa river, where the traditional aranmula kannadi is being made. arrival of airport will boost the tourism in this place, and hence the traditional arts and crafts forms like Aranmula metal mirror, and vasthuvidya will get promoted in to a more wider aspect.
