Upon arriving at the Chavadi, Sai Baba was honored with a series of loving rituals by his devotees. Chapter 51 describes how they would seat Him with honor and begin the worship. He was adorned with beautiful clothes, including gold-embroidered dresses and turbans, and sometimes a golden crown. Devotees would lovingly place garlands of diamonds, pearls, and emeralds around His neck. Furthermore, His body was anointed with sandalwood, a fragrant musk mark was applied to His forehead, His feet were washed as an act of worship, and betel leaf (tambool) was offered to Him. These elaborate acts demonstrate the deep reverence and affection his followers held for him.
