2-Sarojini Naidu otherwise known as The Nightingale of India earned this nickname for herself because of her contribution to poetry. ... Her works, rich in imagery, covered a variety of themes - love, death, separation among others.
3-Palanquin Bearers carry the bride 'lightly' because she is very precious and also it is the most auspicious occasion for her. So they handle here like a very precious jewel.
4-The palanquin bearers carry the bride singing because it is an auspicious and a joyous occasion. ... The bride is compared to a star, a beam, a tear and finally, a pearl on a string. In doing so, the poet is heightening the effect of the glory being given to the bride on the momentous occasion in her life.
