As per the schedule, Niranjini Akhara would be taking bath between 7:05 am to 7:45 am on Jan 14.

She was served hot masala tea in kulhad, which she readily accepted and enjoyed.
Later, she was served a traditional Indian lunch.
"She was pure satavik, even before meeting me in February last year at my Haridwar ashram. Being a very simple and humble woman, she spends her day meeting the people in the camp, performing sadhana, Kriya Yog and Pranayam," said Kailashanand.On Saturday, Laurene had visited the Kashi Vishwanath temple and offered prayers there under the supervision of Kailashanand Giri.
