Can you give me a step-by-step account of how the Chavadi procession began, from Baba getting ready to the procession moving?

πŸ“– Chapter 37

The start of the Chavadi procession followed a precise sequence. First, Baba would be ready, wearing His kafni and with His satka and chilim, but He would wait for Tatya Patil. As Chapter 37 explains, upon Tatya's arrival, he would help Baba to his feet. After Baba extinguished the flame near the firewood, the procession would officially commence. Instantly, musical instruments began to play, fireworks were lit, and heralds would shout as Baba reached the step. Devotees with flags and instruments, along with the horse Shyamakarna at the lead, would then move together in a joyous gathering, with Tatya, Mhalasapati, and Bapusaheb Jog escorting Baba.
