She is soldering some glass pieces to transform them into beautiful glass bangles. The narrator wants to convey the idea that she will understand the cultural significance of bangles when she becomes a bride.

The following lines from the story provide the answer :

'Savita, a young girl in a drab pink dress, sits alongside  an elderly woman, soldering pieces of glass. As her hands  move mechanically like the tongs of a machine, I wonder if  she knows the sanctity of the bangles she helps make. It  symbolises an Indian woman’s suhaag, auspiciousness in  marriage. It will dawn on her suddenly one day when her  head is draped with a red veil, her hands dyed red with  henna, and red bangles rolled onto her wrists. She will  then become a bride.'
