Can you describe the atmosphere and preparations at the Masjid before the Chavadi procession began?

Chapter 37 vividly portrays the vibrant atmosphere at the Masjid preceding the Chavadi procession. A bhajan group would gather and perform devotional songs until midnight, with devotees playing instruments like cymbals, wooden clappers, mridanga, and tambourines, creating a 'storm of bhajan.' The scene was beautifully set with a chariot nearby, a Tulsi altar, and Baba seated among His devotees, who were drawn to Him like a magnet. The entire area was elaborately decorated with rows of lamps, arches, and fluttering flags. Even the horse, Shyamakarna, stood decorated at the gate, adding to the festive and devotional ambiance.
