Abstract: Sarojini Naidu, a prominent poet and freedom fighter, is renowned for her lyrical poetry that celebrates the vibrancy and beauty of India, often intertwining nature with human experiences. Her love for nature is a central theme in many of her poems, where natural elements such as flowers, rivers, and the sky are not only used to evoke aesthetic pleasure but also serve as metaphors for deeper emotional and spiritual states. This paper explores the representation of nature in selected poems of Sarojini Naidu, such as “The Lotus,” “In the Bazaars of Hyderabad,” and “The Palanquin Bearers,” analyzing how her poetic expression reflects an enduring affection for the natural world. Through vivid imagery, symbolic meaning, and sensory descriptions, Naidu’s works demonstrate how nature is both a source of beauty and a channel for emotional and national expression. This study highlights how nature in Naidu’s poetry becomes a reflection of spiritual growth, national identity, joy, sorrow, and comfort, reinforcing the interconnection between the human soul and the natural environment.
