The author's grandmother was a religious person. What are the different ways in which we come to know this?

Answer:

Following are the ways in which we come to know that the author's grandmother was a religious person   (i) She hobbled about the house in a white saree, always carrying and telling the beads of her rosary.   (ii) When the author was in the village with her, he would always find her saying morning prayer while she bathed and dressed him up.   (iii) The grandmother would always go to the village school with her grandson because the school was attached to the temple. While the children were taught, the grandmother would sit inside the temple and read scriptures.   (iv) She would always feed the animals (dogs in the village) and birds (sparrows in the city) because she thought it to be a part of religious rituals.   (v) The last moments of her life were spent in praying rather than talking to her family members.
