The Chavadi procession was a grand and joyous event. As detailed in Chapter 51 of the Shri Sai Satcharita, it was filled with celebratory sounds from horns, bugles, and trumpets, accompanied by the rhythm of cymbals and mridanga. Devotees, including the men and women of Shirdi, would joyfully shout slogans of victory while walking alongside Baba. The procession featured a beautifully decorated horse named Shyam-Sundar, who danced at the front. Devotees carried flags and banners, held a royal umbrella over Baba's head, fanned Him with whisks, and illuminated the path with torches on all sides. This created a truly memorable and splendid spectacle for all present.
