Can you describe the Chavadi procession of Sai Baba as it is detailed in the Satcharita?

📖 Chapter 51

The Chavadi procession was a grand and joyous event. As described in Chapter 51, it was preceded by a bhajan held in the courtyard before Baba, with singing to the rhythm of cymbals and mridanga. Once the palanquin was decorated, the procession would begin. A beautifully ornamented horse named Shyam-Sundar danced at the front, accompanied by the sounds of horns, bugles, and trumpets. Devotees carried flags, banners, and torches, while a royal umbrella was held over Baba's head. The group of devotees walked on both sides, singing bhajans, creating a truly splendid and devotional atmosphere as they made their way to the Chavadi.
