The Chavadi procession was a grand and joyous event filled with devotional fervor. Chapter 51 explains that it began with a grand bhajan in the courtyard before Baba, accompanied by cymbals and mridanga. A palanquin was beautifully decorated for Baba. The procession was led by a horse named Shyam-Sundar, adorned with a gold-embroidered cloth. The air was filled with the sounds of horns, bugles, and trumpets. Devotees carried flags, banners, and torches, while a royal umbrella was held over Baba's head. On both sides, groups of devotees walked, singing melodious bhajans, creating a beautiful and spiritually charged atmosphere.
