Based on Chapter 7, what specific festivals from both Hindu and Muslim traditions did Sai Baba encourage in Shirdi?

📖 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra details Sai Baba's encouragement of festivals from both traditions. For Hindus, he would have the Ram Navami festival celebrated with great enthusiasm, arranging for a cradle to be tied, organizing Katha and Kirtan, and even holding wrestling matches with prizes. He also had the Gopal-Kala prepared for the festival of Gokul Ashtami. For Muslims, he showed equal enthusiasm. The chapter recounts that on the same night as Ram Navami, he would permit the Sandal procession. He ensured there was no obstacle to Namaj prayers during Eid, and he once allowed some Muslims to make a Tabut (replica of a tomb) for Moharram and keep it in the mosque for four days, demonstrating his impartial and joyous acceptance of both faiths.
