Chapter 37 details extensive preparations for the Chavadi procession. Messengers would light torches in the courtyard and decorate a palanquin. Mace-bearers stood at the door, shouting slogans of victory. The crossroads were adorned with arches and garlands (toranas), and flags fluttered high in the sky. Numerous rows of lamps were lit in the vicinity of the Masjid, and the horse Shyamakarna would stand at the courtyard gate, resplendent in full decoration. This created a grand and festive environment for Baba's procession.
Describe the specific preparations made in the courtyard and surrounding areas for the Chavadi procession.
