Can you describe the atmosphere and the activities that took place during the Chavadi procession nights?

The Chavadi procession nights were filled with vibrant devotional energy. According to the descriptions in Chapter 37, a bhajan group would assemble at the Masjid and perform devotional songs in the pavilion until midnight. Devotees, including both men and women, would eagerly participate, using instruments like cymbals, small wooden clappers, mridanga drums, and tambourines to create what the author calls a "storm of bhajan." The scene was visually splendid, with messengers lighting torches, a palanquin being decorated, and mace-bearers shouting slogans of victory. The streets were adorned with arches and flags, completing the festive and sacred atmosphere.
