How did the common devotees express their devotion and joy during Sai Baba's Chavadi procession?

The devotees expressed their immense joy and love for Sai Baba in very active and visible ways during the Chavadi procession. Chapter 37 notes that men and women would walk in rows with love, performing bhajan. They carried banners and flags, and some would dance and jump with abandon while singing. The text states, "All people were in great joy." This collective happiness was further expressed through the thunder of drums, shouts of victory, and the playing of instruments like cymbals and wooden clappers. Their enthusiastic participation created an atmosphere of blissful gathering and deep devotion.
