Chapter 29 mentions a group of devotees from Madras. Can you tell me more about them, like why they came to Shirdi and what their practices were?

According to Chapter 29, a group of devotees from the Madras (now Chennai) region came to Shirdi for Sai Baba's darshan. They were on a pilgrimage to Kashi and stopped at Shirdi on the way, having heard of Baba's fame. This group had spent the year engaged in devotional singing. The text further specifies that their tradition was of the Ramdasi sect, and they performed their devotional singing with great enthusiasm. During their stay, they performed "loving devotional singing regularly" near Sai. Chapter 29 also notes that Baba gave them eight rupees and eight annas, which pleased them, illustrating one of his many interactions with visiting pilgrims.
