What reading level is The Aboriginal Tribes of the Nilgiri Hills book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Both are often dairymen, an office of great honour and importance ; but a Klwota is equally eligible, provided he goes through certain preparatory rites in order to purify himself for it. The especial duties of the priests are to tend the sacred herds just mentioned ; to conduct the periodical sacrifice of a calf to invoke fruitfulness among their herds ; to present the daily offering of milk at their temples ; and to superintend the funeral rites. Of actual or of assembled worship, they have n...one, so far as I could discoA^er, though, individually, they offer up occasional prayers to an Invisible Being for recovery or preserva- tion from sickness.
Their temples differ but little in appearance from the ordinary huts. One of them, standing in a pretty little glen, near the road between Jakatalla and Coonoor, I made an examination of at a time wdien the mund, about half a mile off, to which it be- longed was deserted by its inhabitants. Creeping in on all fours, I discovered, as well as the darkness permitted, that it contained nothing whatever but a square metal bell and a shape- less black stone, about twice the size of a man's head, the latter placed alone on the floor at the end furthest from the entrance.
