As per the account provided by Alli Mohammed in Chapter 41, he came across the Sai Baba portrait serendipitously. While wandering on the streets of Mumbai, he saw a merchant selling various beautiful pictures of saints, sages, and holy men. As he looked through them one by one, a particular portrait of Sai Baba strongly appealed to his heart, its attractiveness surpassing all others. Since Sai was already his worshipped deity, he became eager to have it, paid for it in cash, and brought it home. Chapter 41 explains that his initial action was to hang the portrait on his wall. He then took its Darshan daily with great joy and love, indicating his deep devotion to Baba. This daily ritual continued for some time before the events that led him to give the portrait away.
Can you describe the circumstances under which Alli Mohammed acquired the Sai Baba portrait and his initial actions with it, as narrated in Chapter 41?
