Prince Charles's wife Camilla arrived in the garden city today for a pre-Commonwealth Games rejuvenation at a holistic health centre here.
Duchess of Cornwall, formerly Camilla Parker-Bowles who flew in quietly, headed straight to "Soukya" located in Whitefield suburbs, sources at the centre said.
After a four-day stay at the centre, she will join her husband, Prince Charles for the inauguration of the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi.
At "Soukya", a 30-acre integrated holistic healing centre which incorporates the ancient medicine systems of Ayurveda, Homeopathy and Naturpathy, she will be exposed to yoga, meditation, ayurveda and other traditional forms of therapy.
Accompanied by family and friends, Camilla will have a taste of the Indian "Satvic" food which is served at the centre.
The 63-year-old Camilla is staying at the 2,500 sq ft Presidential Suite which has three ethnically decorated bedrooms, a fruit garden, private garden, open-air shower and a lotus pond.
On her request, her private visit was kept secret with her security personnel asking the city police to maintain complete secrecy about the visit.
Last week, Scotland Yard personnel did a recce of the campus and met Soukya staff.
While she will be provided security by Scotland Yard within the campus, local police will take care of external security.
When contacted, Dr Issac Mathai, Medical Director and founder of "Soukya", was not available for comments.
Soukya Foundation inked a pact earlier this year with the Royal College of Integrated Medicine, London, to provide clinical training in Bangalore to European and Western doctors in ayurveda/homoeopathy and traditional forms of medicine.
The second campus of the Royal College of Medicine, London will be in Bangalore. Prince Charles is the patron of the British Medical Holistic Association and founded the Prince of Wales Foundation for Integrated Health.
