Chapter 5 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra provides a clear description of Sai Baba's appearance at his first meeting with Chand Patil. Patil found him sitting under a mango tree. The text states that Baba was wearing a cap on his head and a kafni on his body. He was also holding a short stick, known as a 'satka,' under his arm. At that moment, he was occupied with preparing a chillum, which involved crushing tobacco. This depiction gives a vivid picture of the Fakir whom Chand Patil encountered by the roadside on his journey from Aurangabad.
