Based on the early accounts from Shirdi, what can you tell me about Sai Baba's typical attire and any notable exceptions?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 0

From the early accounts in Shirdi, we learn about Sai Baba's distinct manner of dress. Chapter 0 mentions that when he first entered the Khandoba temple, he was wearing a kafni (a long robe), a cap, and a dhoti. His kafni was usually either saffron or white in color, and it's noted that he typically wore a white kafni and would tie a dhoti on his head. However, a notable exception to his usual attire came as a gift from a devotee. The text specifies that Kashiram Shimpi, as an act of service, stitched and gave Maharaj a green kafni and a matching green cap, demonstrating how devotees expressed their love through practical offerings that influenced even Baba's appearance.
