A young married woman
That did not laugh easily,
Chubby, dark brown hair
And a fair complexion.
“I will bake a cake”, she said
And her three bangles
Chimed,
Wiry snakes on a tender wrist.
“He kissed my feet”, she said.
Her baby son, huge eyes, worshipped her:
“He kissed my feet as I mopped the floor”.
That means that she used
To mop the floor
On all four, as they did once,
Barefoot.

Coolpix 8800 Bangles (Hindi: Kangan) (Tamil: Valayal) (Telugu: Gaaju) or Chudi are ornaments worn mainly by women. Indian women, especially Hindus, wear them after their marriage signifying the matrimony.
They are circular in shape, and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible. The word is derived from Hindi bungri (glass).

Tradition of Bangles in India
The tradition of wearing of bangles in India began in ancient times. And, even today, womenfolk love to enhance their feminine grace and beauty with the help of bangles that are available in variety of forms
---------
History of Bangles in India:
There are strong evidences that shows that women have been adorning their arms with bangles since ancient times in India. One of the oldest art objects in India, the bronze figurine of a dancing girl excavated at Mohanjodaro epitomizes the antiquity and the universality of wrist ornaments in India. The figurine stands in the nude with one arm at her hip, the other arm completely weighed down with a collection of bangles. Even the Yakshinis are depicted wearing bangles. Banabhatt's Kadambari has a reference to Goddess Saraswati - Goddess of Learning, shown as wearing kangans.
Ancient fragments testify that bangles were made from terracotta, stone, shell, copper, bronze, gold, silver, lac, glass and almost any material that lent itself to craftsmanship. From simple plain circlets of metal, to ones decorated with etched and exquisite designs of bird and animal-head terminals and studded with gems, bangles in various forms existed in ancient in India.
