On alighting from the train she was profusely garlanded by several gentlemen and by the secretaries of several institutions in Madras. Then she was taken in a grand procession to the Jain temple and then to the house of Messrs. Nagjee Purshottam & Co. in Mint Street where good arrangements were made for her stay.
