Can you describe the Chavadi procession as mentioned in the sacred texts? What were some of the royal honors involved?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 42

Chapter 42 details the Chavadi procession, which took place every alternate day. It was a grand affair, accompanied by all royal honors. By Baba's order, a palanquin decorated with flowers was brought to the courtyard. The procession included silver maces, banners, whisks, umbrellas, flags, the eagle-standard (Garud-taka), and sun-shades (Abdagiri). Before the procession, Baba would calm down, put on a fresh loincloth and kafni, and wrap a white cloth around his head. A great roar of "victory to Sainath" would arise from the crowd, creating what the text calls a flood of joy.
