In her poem 'The Indian Weavers' Sarojini Naidu paints the picture of Indian weavers who make clothes for people of all age groups..First she wants to know from the weavers why they make a pleasant garment at dawn. .They tell her that they weave colorful robes of an infant. The weavers, then, tell her at the fall of night they weave bright purple green marriage-veils of a queen. In contrast to her first two questions when she asks the weavers what they weave in white in the chill moonlight, they tell her that it is a dead man's shroud.
She captures the rich imagery by use of different colors according to the stages of a man. While childhood and its happiness is presented by blue, grandeur of youth is depicted by green and purple peacock feathers. The white shroud symbolizes coldness and peace associated with death.
The rhyme scheme of the poem is aabb.

Answer :
This question is based on the poem 'Indian Weavers' by Sarojini Naidu.
The poem throws light on the craft and skill of the Indian craftsmen involved in the traditional occupation of weaving. The poem identifies three important stages in a person's life, which are - birth, marriage and death. The poetess relates these three stages of life to different colors and different times of the day.
The weavers weave a beautiful blue dress for a new-born child in the early morning hours, a green and purple colored marriage veil in the afternoon and a white funeral shroud for a dead man in the late night hours.
