Imageries used in the poem
In the first stanza, the bangle sellers go on roaming and wandering from place to place to sell their bangles. They sing this beautiful song When they go Selling their shining loads (bangles) to the temple fair. They invite the people to come and buy the delicate, bright and multi-coloured bangles which are tokens (symbols) of delight for happy daughters and happy wives. The uses of Auditory and Visual imagery is shown these lines as which appeals to a reader's eyes and ears.
In the second stanza, the bangle sellers give an account of the bangles which match a maiden. They say that the silver and blue coloured bangles are suitable to a maiden. These are like the mist on the mountain in their colour. By mentioning the colour in these line here again we find the examples of Visual imagery. Further they say that they have bangles which are like buds on a woodland stream. Some are shining like flowers. All these bud-like and flower- like bangles are suitable for the unmarried girls.
In the third stanza the bangle sellers say that they have some bangles which look like corn fields. They are suitable for a bride on her bridal morning. Some bangles look like the flame of her marriage fire (red). Some are rich with colours of her heart's desire. They make soft sounds just as the bride makes at the time of her wedding. The bride laughs as she is getting married and weeps as she is going to leave her parental abode. With the help of examples of sound the poet uses Auditory imagery . The phrases bridal laughter and bridal tears suggest the emotional feelings of a bride.
In the last stanza the bangle sellers say that they possess some bangles which are purple in colour and some are touched with gold and grey colours. The sense of touch is used as an imagery. All these bangles are suitable for a middle-aged woman whose hands have cared tenderly, loved, blessed and cradled her fair sons and worshiped the gods sitting by her husband's side.
