Gitanjali is a collection of 'song offerings' to the Creator. Tagore uses the images common to classical Indian love poetry to symbolise his yearning to merge with God. So the mud-stained traveller, the parched earth in summer, the bride awaiting in the empty house for the return of her lord, the first monsoon shower, the flowers and rivers and conch shells are images which gain a mystical depth in these poems.
