The Chavadi procession was a grand and joyous event, filled with devotion and celebration. Chapter 51 describes that on a Thursday, the evening would begin with a grand bhajan held in the courtyard, with devotees singing to the rhythm of cymbals and mridanga. The procession itself was a royal affair, featuring a decorated horse named Shyam-Sundar dancing at the front. The air was filled with the sounds of horns, bugles, and trumpets. Devotees carried flags, banners, and torches, fanning Baba with peacock feathers and whisks as he walked under a royal umbrella, creating a truly memorable and splendid spectacle.
