What reading level is A World Pilgrimage book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" With minute care the Brahman goes through the prescribed ritual. We saw hundreds taking an internal ablution, lifting the water from the stream to the mouth. On the water's edge the worshippers uttered the solemn syllables of some divine name. We saw multitudes standing in the stream, with faces toward the sun, and then dipping themselves again and again beneath the cold surface. Thousands were drying their bodies or rinsing their clothes. Higher up, and over- looking the bathing, were the " ...Sons of the Ganges, " or the guardians of these vast ablutions. Seated under great straw umbrellas on platforms, they overlook the crouching, ges- ticulating, praying, bathing, dripping, ejaculating throngs. Every person holds in his hand a brass bowl, which shines like a sun. The movements and attitudes of many of the figures on the bank appear to be those of insanity. The spectacles which one beholds as he moves up and down the river have been well described as visions of some opium dream.
The architecture is noble and impressive.
