Answers
Answer:
1. The bangle sellers are going to the temple fair to sello their bangles. Though they appear contented and happy, they are not supposed to be so as they live in poverty and deprivation.
2.The 'Rainbow-tinted' is used for the bracelets that are of different colors in the hues. 'Circle of light' means that the bracelets are round in shape and reflect the light since they are shiny in nature.
3.These bangles are meant for happy daughters and happy wives. The poet has repeated the word 'happy' to stress or emphasise on the human element of the product. The maidens or the daughters who are yet to be married express their happiness and their longings by wearing these bangles.
4.The silver and blue coloured bangles which are suitable to a maiden are compared to the colour of the mist of a mountain. ...
The red colour (flush) of the bangles is compared to the red colour of the bud that is yet to bloom. ...
Red coloured bangles are best suited for brides.
5.The theme of the poem is the celebration of indian womanhood. Sarojini Naidu describes each stage of an indian woman with a colour that is suitable. The poem shows the life of an indian woman from a dreamy maiden to an excited bride and then to a faithful wife.
