How was Sai Baba adorned during the Chavadi procession, and did His appearance align with being a fakir?

Chapter 37 details Sai Baba's magnificent appearance during the Chavadi procession, which presented a striking contrast to the typical image of a fakir. While one might expect a fakir to be unadorned, Baba's body was decorated with the "ornaments of devotion" and the "jewel of peace." He wore gold and emerald divine necklaces, strings of pearls, and garlands of Jai, Jui, and Tulsi that reached His feet. A beautiful black tilak on His forehead added to His sweet beauty. The text explicitly questions whether He should be called a fakir, concluding that He instead "appeared as a radiant, prominent Vaishnava," complete with a gold-worked shawl on His head and an umbrella and chowries swaying above Him.
