Tell me about the horse Shyamakarna and the other ceremonial items used in Baba's procession to the Chavadi.

πŸ“– Chapter 37

The procession featured several significant ceremonial items. A prominent figure was the copper-colored horse named Shyamakarna, who was resplendent in full decoration with jingling bells on his feet and led the procession from the front. As Chapter 37 describes, the path itself was honored by having shawls and double shawls spread upon it as foot-cloths for Baba to walk over. Devotees carried banners and flags, including one known as the 'Garuda-tak' which featured an image of Garuda. The atmosphere was filled with the sounds of instruments like cymbals, mridangas, and veenas, all contributing to the grandeur and devotion of the event.
