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