The text mentions a specific portrait of Sai Baba in Ahmednagar. What was its significance and history?

The Sai Baba portrait mentioned in chapter 51 held special significance. It was a photograph that Baba's devoted disciple, Megha, used to worship with great reverence, viewing it as Lord Shankar himself. The text explains that the glass on the portrait had broken, so it was sent from Shirdi with Balasaheb Mirikar to be repaired in Ahmednagar. After being repaired, it was kept covered in Mirikar's drawing room. Its presence there was described as if it were waiting specifically for Kakasaheb Dixit. The portrait was unveiled to him after his travel plans to Shirdi with Madhavrao were finalized, serving as a powerful and auspicious sign before his journey began.
