What reading level is The Rock Cut Temples of India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These are covered with the most elegant ornaments, so delicate as to be almost better suited for metal than for stone work. At either end of it a smaller porch stands in front of the two principal cells, the difference in height being made up by bassi-relievi representing scenes from the life of Buddha. The doorway leading into the hall is also a rich and elegant specimen of its class.
4.^ ■^ '^ VERANDAH, CAVE No. 2. — AJUNTA.
'Tn'HE principal effect of tliis Cave is derived from its paintings,... especially those on the ceiling. These are not of the same high class of his- torical paintings which adorn the Viharas 16 and 17, being generally only decorative scrolls and patterns, but as architectural ornaments, they are more complete and elaborate than those found in the other Caves, and being generally appropriate to the situation in which they are placed, they give a greater effect of finish to this Cave than is usual at Ajunta. Taken alto- gether, there is perhaps no Cave at this place from which the effect and arrangements of a complete Vihara can be better understood than they can from this example.
