The Chavadi procession, as detailed in Chapter 51, was a grand event held on Thursdays. It began with bhajans sung to the rhythm of cymbals and mridanga while a palanquin was decorated. The procession was a magnificent spectacle featuring a decorated horse named Shyam-Sundar dancing at the front. The air was filled with the sounds of horns, bugles, and trumpets. A royal umbrella was held over Sai Baba's head as devotees carried flags, banners, and torches, singing bhajans while walking on both sides of Baba on the way to the Chavadi.
