Can you describe the circumstances of Sai Baba's return to Shirdi and his appearance when he was first encountered by Chand Patil?

📖 Chapter 5

The narrative in Chapter 5 explains that Sai Baba had been "hidden" for some time before he was found again, returning to Shirdi as part of a Muslim wedding party. His rediscovery begins with a man named Chand Patil from Dhup village who had lost his mare. While searching, Patil encountered Baba under a mango tree. As described in Chapter 5, Baba was seen wearing a cap on his head, a kafni on his body, and carrying a short stick known as a satka under his arm, all while preparing a chillum for smoking.
