How was the procession to the Chavadi organized and decorated for the celebrations?

The procession to the Chavadi was a grand affair filled with celebratory elements. The source material in Chapter 37 explains that messengers would light torches in the courtyard, creating a festive ambiance as night fell. A palanquin would be decorated right there for the occasion. At the door, mace-bearers stood ready, shouting slogans of victory to herald the event. Furthermore, the path was adorned with arches and 'toranas' (garlands) at the crossroads, while flags fluttered high in the sky, marking the significance of the celebration.
