What reading level is Gardens of the Great Mughals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The exquisite white marble grave is open to the sky ; by her special request, grass alone is grown in a hollow on the top of the monument, and where in other royal tombs the white marble gleams with garlands of inlaid gems, the " Humble Grave " of the Lady Jahanara Begam shows, as 110 GARDENS OF THE PLAINS DELHI its only ornament, a lily carved of precious jade, green as the waving grass.
Roshanara, the other sister, lies buried in her own garden-house, an elaborate white pavilion with creeper-...clad walls, standing on a low wide platform in the centre of the upper terrace in the gardens still called by her name. A raised canal, something after the style of the broad watercourses at Safdar Jang's mausoleum, but bordered by beds of flowers and still ornamented with a row of little fountains, leads from this building to the entrance gate.
It must have been a gay sight when the Begam Roshanara's elephant procession arrived from Delhi fort : the huge animals, with their gold-embroidered coverings, their solemn, ponder- ous tread, their jangling silver bells, conveying the "goddesses" of the Imperial harem enshrined from the vulgar gaze; and then the Princess herself escaping from the noise and stifling heat of the royal palace came in her splendid rose- curtained litter, swung between two smaller elephants, to while away a few hours in her cool, flower-scented, fountain-sprinkled gardens.
