Saraswati Bai began her travels within India once again on returning from her tour of Ceylon in 1913. In an interview given later in life she was to recall with considerable pride that she had not "spared a single village and neither had any village spared her". Travel to far off places meant being on the move for several days and journeys by several modes of transport including the bullock cart. Bai, who had been of a sickly constitution as a child, found that she had to put up with the rigours of such travels and also of the strain of standing for six to seven hours each night and perform non stop.
