The Chavadi procession was a profoundly important and joyous event. According to Chapter 51, Sai Baba followed a constant rule of alternating His nights between the Masjid and the Chavadi, a practice that continued throughout His life. On Thursdays, a grand procession would take place. It began with bhajans, after which Baba would be led to the Chavadi in a decorated palanquin. The procession was a spectacle of devotion, featuring a dancing horse named Shyam-Sundar, music from horns and trumpets, and devotees singing bhajans while carrying flags and torches. This regular, festive event, as described in Chapter 51, was a source of immense spiritual joy and a highlight for all of Baba's followers who gathered to witness it.
