To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the courtyard of Hindu gentlemen who worship Durg;!, the frame for holding the victims whilst they are sacrificed remains permanently.
After the evening worship is concluded, in the courtyard immediately in front of the image which is believed to be inhabited by the deity, amusements of varied kinds take place. Sometimes these consist of the singing of songs by professional singers, not necessarily in favour of the par- ticular deity whose worship is then being celebrated. These songs are of...ten of a most lascivious kind. Sometimes there will be a Nautch, in which professional dancers, who as a class are prostitutes, dance, sometimes without, sometimes with, most immoral gestures. Sometimes there are Jatras, or theatrical representations of mythological scenes, after the style of the miracle plays of Europe, in which men always perform. It will be understood that at these festivals women in large numbers are present, and these indecent represen- tations are made, not only in their presence, but in front of the image supposed to represent the deity.
