This Mirror Reflects Your Truest Self

You haven’t really seen yourself until you’ve gazed into an Aranmula kannadi. These mysterious mirrors have been made in India, for centuries, and are said to reflect your truest self. Unlike plane mirrors, Aranmula kannadi are front-reflecting, meaning the image that is shown is not distorted. Today, there are only a handful of families handcrafting them out of an alloy of tin and copper. They’re expensive, but for good reason. Haradi, a local craftsman, guides us through the complex, painstaking process of making one of these gorgeous showpieces.

    It's a handycraft items, not mass production items. You can't compare an apple with a peanut. The craftmen's skill, time, effort & soul which put into making such items give them their own values, thus also give them their own price... Mass production item were less valued items which made by machinaries, for quantity over quality.

    For anyone wondering the price of these: Small mirrors which fit in your palm starts at around $15. The one in this video costs north of $50 There are larger mirrors,but the price depends on the design and engravings on the frame too. I live quite near this village.If anyone is interested in purchasing a mirror and support these craftsmen,I can purchase and ship them to you.

    There is a lot to making an alloy even by modern standards - the ratio of each element, the stage at which it is added, the thermal process, exposure to external elements etc. They all affect how the alloy crystallizes, how many defects it has and how it attains its properties. Mirror grinding is also an intricate multistage process - requiring an entire different set of skills and materials. They have shown you only a fraction of the know how required for this. Even modern aerospace alloy making and manufacturing processes are guarded secrets. But these historical alloys were invented so long ago when the world was not so advanced. Those families rightly cherish those knowledge as a generational gift. Another example of such a time honoured tradition is the 'katana' (samurai sword) of Japan. Here is long video about its creation: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iHmTltyBfsbPlbA.html P.S: I really like crystals, though I don't know much about it. It's a microcosm of pure symmetry and layers of complexity that defines everything see. Even the computer chips I use to write this has incredible amount of thought and discovery in the pure crystals they use.

    This family is so proud, and rightfully so, of this traditional art, craft and skill, that they have nurtured and are practicing over so many generations. They deserve our appreciation and our gratitude for having the tenacity, dignity and regard for their heritage, and keeping it alive against so many adverse pressures, when so many of us have failed to do so with ours. I will surely buy one of these mirrors. I hope that someone in touch with the family will pass my regards to them.
