In this poem, Sarojini Naidu celebrates and glorifies Indian womanhood. The stages of an Indian woman’s life are represented through the colour of bangles in this poem. Each colour represents each stage she crosses. Each stage of an Indian woman’s life from a maiden to a bride and finally to a mature woman with experience is described through colours in this poem. Silver and blue, or pink -maidenhood; yellow- morning of her wedding; red or orange (fiery shades) symbolises her bridal night; purple and gold- motherhood and matriarchy. According to the poetess, the lives of Indian women should be radiant and lustrous like the bangles. The “rainbow-tinted” bangles are symbolic of the multicoloured phases of a woman’s life.
Bangles are associated with daughters and wives in the Indian society since the very beginning. The second stanza brings into limelight the the bangles which are suitable for a maiden who is carrying numerous dreams and desires about her future. While the blue and silver coloured bangles resemble the mist in the mountains, some resemble the buds of flowers. These images highlight the beauty and freshness of the pretty maidens. The blooming flowers represent the blooming of these maidens into women.
The golden coloured bangles that resemble sunlit bright corn fields are meant for the Indian brides. These golden bangles represent the flame of the holy fire around which the bride and groom take marriage vows. This flame-like resemblance of the golden bangles for a bride suggest the idea of the flame of love.
The final stanza captures the full transformation of the maiden into a woman “who has journeyed through life midway” and who “serves her husband in fruitful pride”. Purple and gold-flecked grey are the colours that represent maturity in a woman. Grey represent the maturity that comes with age. Sarojini Naidu’s idea of the ideal Indian woman is summed up in the final lines of the poem as an Indian woman is represented as the force that keeps the family together.
