Let's see how to make Aranmula Kannadi. The first step is to make the mould .The mouth of the mould is sealed with clay. An opening lid made of clay, is also provided.
The molten metal is poured onto flat surface (usually the ground itself). Once cooled, the alloy is then broken into pieces using a hammer. The broken pieces are then inspected for the quality of the alloy. The molten metal is then poured into the preheated mound. It is then left for cooling. Once cooled, the clay mould is broken and the casting is removed. The casting is checked for any deformities. Usually the master craftsman prepares four to five mirrors and polishes them at a stretch. When one gets heated he does the polishing for the next one while the other cools.
To achieve high quality reflective surface the polishing can go on from one to two days. Once the required polished surface is achieved it is then further polished using a piece of cotton cloth. Then final polishing is done using a velvet cloth. The velvet tends to absorb the oil that was applied earlier on to the mirror. Hence, further polishing is continued on another dry piece of velvet.
The velvet cloth is placed on the ground and the mirror along with wooden blank is moved in the desired direction. Once satisfactory finish is achieved the disk is just heated to separate it from the wooden blank and the mirror is mounted on a brass fame.
The finished mirror would be brighter and beautiful. Only a few families know the secret to make this perfect mirror. The making process of aranmula kannadi contains a lots of efforts, expertise and patience.
