What kind of celebratory items like flags and instruments were used during the procession to the Chavadi?

The procession was a vibrant celebration featuring numerous festive items. Chapter 37 mentions that devotees carried various banners and flags, with some specifically displaying the 'Garuda-tak' (a flag with Garuda's image). The procession was a symphony of sound, with a wide array of musical instruments being played. These included horns and trumpets of different shapes, drums like the 'Tas' and mridanga, and percussion instruments like the 'Jhanj', cymbals, and wooden clappers. A veena was also played. This combination of visual pageantry with flags and the thunderous sound of drums and music created an atmosphere of immense joy and devotion.
