How did the actual procession from the Masjid to the Chavadi commence once Baba was ready to leave?

The commencement of the procession was a grand and celebratory event. Chapter 37 states that as soon as Sai Baba started to go, a symphony of musical instruments began to play, including various horns and trumpets. The departure was marked by a brilliant display of fireworks, such as 'Nale' and 'Chandrajyoti', which lit up the night. Torches shone brightly on all sides, illuminating the path, while mace-bearers stood at the door shouting slogans of victory. This created a vibrant and joyous spectacle signaling the start of Baba's journey to the Chavadi.
