Can you describe the atmosphere and the sequence of events during the noon Aarti at the Masjid?

πŸ“– Chapter 19

The noon Aarti at the Masjid is depicted as a vibrant and highly devotional event. According to the account in Chapter 19, the ceremony begins with the ringing of a bell. Devotees first perform a ritual worship of Baba using sandalwood paste, grains, and water. Following this, Bapusaheb Jog performs the Pancharti, waving the lamps with devotion. The atmosphere is filled with the loud, joyful singing of Aartis by both men and women, accompanied by auspicious musical instruments and the clanging of a gong. The narrator of Chapter 19 describes the space as very crowded, but through the help of Madhavrao, he is brought near Baba, who sits calmly smoking his chillum while the Aarti proceeds.
