What reading level is The Folk-Element in Hindu Culture; a Contribution to Socio-Religious Studies in Hindu Folk-Institutions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The selected Bhakta fastens it to the front- side of his waist, and, seating little children on it, causes them to dance with his two hands from behind. In the dance of the Kali mask, the dancer is occasionally seen to have four hands. All these, however, are of wood, the dancer's own being tied together behind his back.
The dancer in the Chimunda mask-dance wields in one hand a kharpara (the upper part of the human skull) to receive the blood of her victims and in the other a pigeon and such o...ther things. In the Hanuman mask- dance, it is the chief votary that plays this part. He puts on the mask of, and dresses himself like, Hanuman, the great monkey-general, and then exhibits the crossing of the sea and the burning down of Lamka (these were among the most important feats performed by Hanuman as described in the Rdmdyana). The dance of Shiva- Parvati is performed in a gentle manner. Under her armpit and encircled by her left hand, Parvati wields a pitcher filled with water, and over its mouth are placed some fresh mango-twigs {mangifera indicd).
