Naidu’s poem shows that the rich people of Hyderabad not only bought gold ornaments like wristlet, anklet and ring to adorn themselves, but also fancy things like delicate bells for the feet of blue pigeons, girdles for the dancers and scabbards of gold for the king. This indicates the immense wealth of the city where people did not hesitate to buy luxury items made of gold. It also indicates to the rich cultural tradition of the society.
