Based on the context in which it appears in this excerpt from Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, what is the meaning of the wo

rd obscene?
“Putting it on him to be buried in, to be sure,” replied the woman with a laugh. “Somebody was fool enough to do it, but I took it off again. If calico an’t good enough for such a purpose, it isn’t good enough for anything. It’s quite as becoming to the body. He can’t look uglier than he did in that one.”

As they sat grouped about their spoil, in the scanty light afforded by the old man’s lamp, he viewed them with a detestation and disgust, which could hardly have been greater, though they had been OBSCENE demons, marketing the corpse itself.

“Ha, ha!” laughed the same woman, when old Joe, producing a flannel bag with money in it, told out their several gains upon the ground. “This is the end of it, you see! He frightened every one away from him when he was alive, to profit us when he was dead! Ha, ha, ha!”

A.Wicked
B.Barely visible
C.Unsympathetic

For example, if two persons have an argument, and Person A makes a case based on his or her own Experience and Observation whilst Person B relies on their research as a Doctor in that field as well as the research of other PhD. holders in the same field, people will most likely go with Person B.

Short notes on muktinath temple​
lesya [120]

Answer:

Hey

Explanation:

Muktinath is a Vishnu temple, sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists. It is located in Muktinath Valley at the foot of the Thorong La mountain pass in Mustang, Nepal. It is one of the world's highest temples (altitude 3,800 m). The site is close to the village of Ranipauwa, which is sometimes mistakenly called Muktinath.

Within Hinduism, it is known as Mukti Kshetra, which literally means the 'place of liberation' (moksh).

This temple is considered to be 106th among the available 108 Divya Desam (premium temples) considered sacred by the Sri Vaishnava sect. Its ancient name in Sri Vaishnava literature was in 10th CE (Common Era - means after 0 year ) while Buddhism was in 568 BCE (Before Common Era - Before 0 year ), origin, is Thiru Saligramam. This houses the Saligram shila, considered to be the naturally available form of Sriman .

Buddhists call it Chumig Gyatsa, which in Tibetan means "Hundred Waters". For Tibetan Buddhists, Muktinath is an important place of dakinis, goddesses known as Sky Dancers, and one of the 24 Tantric places. They understand the murti to be a manifestation of Avalokiteśvara, who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas.
