Can you describe the atmosphere and activities that took place in the Masjid before Baba's Chavadi procession?

Before the Chavadi procession, the Masjid would come alive with devotional energy. As detailed in Chapter 37, a bhajan group would gather in the pavilion and sing until midnight. Devotees, both men and women, would assemble with instruments like cymbals, wooden clappers, mridangas, and tambourines, creating a 'storm of bhajan.' The text beautifully describes Sai Baba as a powerful magnet, effortlessly drawing the 'iron-like devotees' to His feet. Meanwhile, preparations for the procession were underway outside, with torches being lit and the palanquin being decorated, all contributing to a festive and spiritually charged atmosphere.
