How did a portrait of Sai Baba end up being transported to Shirdi by Madhavrao and Dixit?

The journey of the portrait began with Balasaheb, who had been entrusted with it. Before he was scheduled to return from a horse show, he gave the portrait to Madhavrao, tasking him with taking it to Shirdi. As Chapter 51 describes, Madhavrao then went to Kakasaheb Mirikar's house where Kakasaheb Dixit happened to be present. Madhavrao uncovered the portrait and showed it to Dixit, who was deeply moved. This encounter led to them deciding to travel to Shirdi together, with the portrait accompanying them, fulfilling Balasaheb's initial charge to Madhavrao.
