The Chavadi procession was a truly memorable event, especially on Thursdays. It was a grand affair filled with devotion and celebration. As described in Chapter 51, Baba would alternate sleeping one night in the Masjid and the next in the Chavadi, a rule He followed throughout His life. The procession to the Chavadi was a spectacle of splendor. A decorated horse named Shyam-Sundar would dance at the front, while horns, bugles, and trumpets sounded. Devotees walked alongside Baba singing bhajans, carrying flags, banners, and torches, with a royal umbrella held over His head. This joyful event, filled with music and devotion, brought together the men and women of Shirdi to accompany Baba to the Chavadi.
