What is the theme of the poem "The Bangle Sellers" by Sarojini Naidu?

Sarojini
Naidu examines the theme of women's roles in a traditional Indian society throughout the poem
"The Bangle Sellers." The seller attempts to persuade customers to purchase various
bangles, which are colored differently to symbolize significant moments in a woman's life. The
seller provides vivid descriptions that coincide with the color of the various bangles. Silver
and blue bangles represent single women, while red-tinted bangles symbolize marriage and a
loving relationship. Purple and gold-flecked grey bangles represent older women who have
experienced marriage and motherhood. Each bangle symbolizes significant stages in an Indian
woman's life, and these women's faithfulness and longevity are celebrated throughout the poem.
In the last stanza, Naidu reflects on the ideal life of a traditional Indian woman by commenting
on their faithful service to their children, husband, and deities.
