As detailed in Chapter 44 of the Sai Satcharitra, immediately after Baba's breath left His body, Laxman-mama performed worship, and Jog performed the Aarti with a lamp. Following this, a period of intense deliberation began that lasted for twenty-six hours. The main point of contention among the devotees, both Hindus and Muslims, was how to handle Baba's physical body for its final resting state. They debated how and where to plan the Samadhi (tomb), a discussion that was complicated by the memory of a previous incident where Baba had seemingly died but returned to life, causing uncertainty about His current state.
