Indeed, the Chavadi procession was a grand and joyous celebration. As detailed in Chapter 37, the event was marked by extensive decorations like arches, flags, and rows of lamps. The procession was a sensory spectacle, with musical instruments like horns, trumpets, mridanga, and veena filling the air, accompanied by the continuous chanting of Sai’s name. Devotees, both men and women, walked in rows carrying banners and flags, dancing and singing bhajans with great joy. Key figures like Tatya Patil, Mhalasapati, and Bapusaheb Jog would personally escort Baba, holding His hands and an umbrella over His head, while the fully adorned horse Shyamakarna led the way. The entire atmosphere was filled with devotion and celebration, with fireworks and torches illuminating the path.
