Chapter 37 provides a vivid description of the Chavadi procession's participants. Tatya Patil played a pivotal role; Baba would not leave for the Chavadi until Tatya arrived to help Him up. The bhajan group, comprising men and women, played instruments like cymbals and mridanga. Mace-bearers stood at the door shouting slogans of victory, while messengers lit torches. Even Baba's horse, Shyamakarna, stood decorated at the courtyard gate. This collective effort, centered around Baba, made the procession a grand event.
