In a small village Aranmula, I explored the Vishwakarma community's incredible craft of creating mirrors not from glass, but from METAL. • What made this experience truly remarkable was meeting Sudamal, the only woman who single-handedly manages this traditionally male-dominated craft. She sits for eight hours daily in front of a fire, carefully shaping these special mirrors by hand. • These aren't ordinary mirrors. When you look into them, the reflection appears differently - you are able to view the direct reflection without any distortion. Each mirror is a testament to generations of skill passed down through a single community in Kerala. • The small village was filled with mirror shops, but witnessing the actual crafting process was mesmerizing. I learned about the very detailed techniques and the rich cultural heritage behind these unique mirrors. • Through videos like this, I aim to show the incredible skills of our hardworking Indian artisans that most people never get to see! • Drop a comment and tell me what you like the most about the video. • Buy these mirrors from here: • Email: [email protected] • Website: thearanmulakannadi.com • Instagram: instagram.com/aranmulakannadi • ********** • Time Stamps: • 00:00 - Intro • 00:13 - How does the Vishwakarma community make mirrors? • 00:33 - Kavya's Aim • 00:43 - Meet our saviour (Translator) - Lenin • 00:55 - Meeting Sudamal - Only woman crafting mirror in this community • 01:10 - Preparation of the secret item • 03:25 - Collab • 04:20 - Preparation of clay • 05:27 - Parts of the mould • 05:46 - Preparation of plates • 06:29 - History of Aranmula • 07:15 - Polishing of Plates • 08:11 - Making of Body • 08:30 - Making of Head • 08:57 - Biggest Aranmula Kannadi • 09:32 - Final Cover • 10:09 - Most important process • 10:51 - Biggest Challenge • 11:29 - Removing mould from fire • 12:33 - Final Reveal • 13:41 - Polishing the mirror • 14:40 - Making the Frames • 16:04 - Packaging of the Mirror • 16:18 - Outro • ********** • Credits: • Producer and Researcher- Varun Pandey • Videographer and Editor- @gurvmndl • Thumbnail Designer- Aanchal • Animator- Krishna Kumar • On field translator - Lenin Jagadeesh • Translator - Marjana Aboobacker • Subtitles - Yashika • ********** • About me: • KK Create is a channel run by Kavya Karnatac. • Hi!
