Describe the atmosphere and key participants of the Chavadi procession mentioned in the Satcharita.

📖 Chapter 51

The atmosphere of the Chavadi procession was one of 'double joy,' especially on Thursdays, which was also the day of the procession. Chapter 51 describes a grand bhajan with cymbals and mridanga setting a festive tone. Key participants included the men and women of Shirdi joyfully participating, and Tatya Patil, who would walk on Baba's left side holding a lantern. The light from the lantern and torches mixed with the golden hue of Baba's face, making it shine like 'gold mixed with copper.' The entire group of devotees would walk alongside Baba, singing bhajans, creating an atmosphere of deep devotion and celebratory splendor.
