She underwent Ayurveda, a traditional Indian system of medicine that aims to preserve health and wellness by keeping the mind, body, and spirit in balance and preventing disease rather than treating it. 

According to the website, Sreedhareeyam eye treatment centre has been practising ayurvedic eye care traditionally for nearly 300 years now. 

While in India, Raila also met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

The two, among other issues, discussed the need to strengthen Kenya-India relations. 

"Prime Minister Modi expressed his happiness at being able to meet Mr Odinga after almost three and half years. Prime Minister recollected his multiple interactions with Mr Odinga since 2008 in both India and Kenya, as well as the latter’s support to the Vibrant Gujarat Summit in 2009 and 2012

"The two leaders also discussed other issues of mutual interest. The Prime Minister expressed his commitment to further strengthening India-Kenya relations," a statement by India's PM read.
