The Chavadi procession was a grand and joyous event. As detailed in Chapter 51, it was led by a beautifully adorned horse named Shyam-Sundar, who would dance at the front. The air was filled with the sounds of horns, bugles, and trumpets, accompanying the decorated palanquin which carried Sai Baba under a royal umbrella. Devotees would flank Baba on both sides, carrying flags and banners, fanning Him with whisks, and singing bhajans to the rhythm of mridanga and cymbals. Tatya Patil would walk on Baba's left holding a lantern, illuminating Baba's golden face during the procession to the Chavadi.
