What reading level is Picturesque Nepal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is a long rambling legend with regard to this divinity and his association with the country, but the ceremony of annually exhibiting his present-day embodiment in the form of an THE CAR OF MATSYENDRA NATH 107 idol to thousands of his followers is one of the most fascinating events of the Valley, and a function which has been maintained for centuries. The ceremony is in three parts : first, the bathing of the image of the god at a particular shrine; second, the dragging of the image in a t...riumphal car through the principal streets of Patau ; and third, the un- robing of the idol and the display of its gar- ments to the people. The second portion of this programme is particularly striking, and is a festival eminently characteristic of the State. The car is a huge, unwieldy structure, with massive wheels, on the solid spokes of which are painted in distinctive colours the eyes of Bhairab or Shiva. Surmounting this is the chamber containing the deity, built up in the form of a column, somewhat resemb- ling a Maypole, and between 60 and 70 feet high.
