Can you describe how the festival of Ram Navami was celebrated in Shirdi under Sai Baba's guidance?

📖 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 details that Sai Baba had a particular fondness for celebrating the Hindu festival of Ram Navami. He would personally have it organized with great joy and ceremony. A cradle would be tied in the assembly hall, and he would arrange for Katha and Kirtan, which are the narration of devotional stories and the singing of religious songs, specifically the Ram-Kirtan. The chapter also notes that the celebration included organizing wrestling matches, with prizes such as horses, anklets, and turbans being given out with great enthusiasm. This celebration occurred alongside the Muslim Sandal procession, which he also permitted on the same night, showcasing his equal regard for both traditions.
