Manichithra Thazhu

This is a show piece from a shop in my place, Nadavaramba. It is famous for good quality bronze items. A few shops sell both ready made and custom made items. This lock costs around 15,000 Rs. and the length is between 60 to 75 cm. You will have to place your orders two or three months in advance for custom made items.

In other locks the fish is replaced by a tortoise or snake and the ring is placed on an elephant's head.
