According to Sarojini Naidu the bangles suitable for the maiden’s wrist are silver and blue coloured bangles like silver and blue mountain mist. This symbolises the virginity of a maiden. Pink shaded bangles are also suitable like the flowers ready to blossom and like the clear dew drops on new born flowers which symbolises the freshness and beauty of a young maiden.Bangles which are suitable for a maiden’s wrist are :
1) Silver and blue as the mountain mist
2) Flushed (red) like buds
3) Green as the new leavesSilver and blue colours are compared to mountain mist because cloudiness in mountainous area is a mixture of both blue and silver colour. Same is the colour of bangles of virgins as there is new freshness in beauty of maidens, similar to fresh bluish-grey fog in mountains.Silver and blue as the mountain mist, ” . The ice on the mountain looks like a silver coating and the blue sky covers the top of the mountain. The mixture of the two colours are as pure as the bangles on the young unmarried women. The poet describes three types of coloured bangles meant for the three stages of maiden’s wrist:-
Firstly, comes the childhood stage of a girl. The coloured bangles meant for them are silver and blue which reflects the mountains and clouds. It symbolises innocence, purity and chastity of the girl.
The next stage is the adolescence stage and the bangles meant for them are pinkish and reddish colour. The poet compares the girl of this stage with the buds which are yet to blossom like beautiful flowers.
Next comes the youthful stage for which the greenish colour is best suitable. The shining clear dew drops on the new born leaves symbolises the beauty and freshness.
