Through the poem 'The Bangle Sellers,' she celebrates the local handicrafts and occupations of the common folk of our country. She depicts the cultural tradition of selling glass bangles at fairs and temples.  In the Indian society bangles have an important cultural and  religious place as they form an integral part of traditional dress adorned by all sections of women in India. She associates different colors of the bangles to the different stages of a woman's life. In the lines ‘lustrous tokens of radiant lives, for happy daughters and happy wives' the poetess depicts the bangles as symbols of joy, contentment and happiness.
