The Chavadi procession was an auditory spectacle filled with music and devotional sounds. As detailed in Chapter 37, a wide array of instruments created a thunderous and joyful noise. The text mentions horns and trumpets, some in circular shapes, along with the rhythmic sounds of 'Tas' and 'Jhanj'. The air resonated with the sounds of the mridanga, veena, and countless cymbals and wooden clappers. Above all, there was the constant, loving bhajan and chanting of Sai's name by the devotees, with shouts of victory filling the sky, creating a delightful and immersive experience.
