What reading level is Faith, Fairs, And Festivals of India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At Kallar Kahar in the Salt Range is a shallow lake, the water of which is salt, probably owing to the passage of springs through a seam of salt. The people of the locality, however, explain that it used to be fresh until some five hundred years ago Baba Farid of Pakpattan came that way, unknown to the villagers, and asked for a drink of water ; for a joke one of the women, who were drawing water, said, " How can you drink water when it is salt ? " After quenching his thirst the holy man said, ..."Yes, it is verily salt," and when the women next went to fetch water they found it had become salt, and so it has remained.
SUPERSTITIONS. 217 There is an extraordinary story about a tomb in a Musalman graveyard at Sardi, near Kallar Kahar. It is said that a particularly holy fakir was once taken up to heaven in a chariot from this spot, where he had resided for many years with a dog as his only companion ; on the fakir's departure, the faithful creature was so overcome with grief that it refused to eat, drink, or move from the place, and remained there till it died.
