A mirror made by hand
When imitations are common, the maker's own website is the best proof of authenticity.
The Aranmula kannadi is a metal-alloy mirror made by hand in Aranmula, in Pathanamthitta district, and it is registered as a geographical indication. Unlike a glass mirror, its reflecting surface is the polished metal itself, and making a single piece can take a considerable amount of time.
Buyers, often purchasing a gift, a wedding item or a piece for a puja room, face a real risk of buying an imitation. Searches return marketplace listings of uncertain origin alongside genuine makers. A maker's own website, explaining who they are, how each mirror is made and how buyers can verify authenticity, is a strong answer to that problem.
We build simple, credible websites for makers, with clear sizes and finishes, honest lead times, guidance on caring for a first-surface metal mirror, and an ordering or enquiry process that suits made-to-order work.

FAQ
Websites for Aranmula kannadi makers: common questions
Can we show the GI tag on our website?
Only if you are entitled to use it under the registration's conditions. We will ask you to confirm before any GI mark or claim is published.
How do we handle orders that take weeks to make?
The site states realistic lead times per size, takes an advance where you require one, and sends the buyer status updates as the order progresses.
Can we ship mirrors abroad?
If you have a reliable packing and courier arrangement for international shipments, the site can accept overseas orders with shipping quoted separately.
Should we also sell on marketplaces?
That is your choice. Your own website remains the place where buyers can verify who you are and order directly.
