What kind of diverse crowd of people would come to Shirdi for Sai Baba's darshan?

The assembly of devotees who came to Shirdi for Sai Baba's darshan was extraordinarily diverse, representing all sections of society. As described in chapter 32, visitors included professionals like astrologers, people from all social classes such as kings and princes, as well as spiritual seekers like yogis, sannyasis, and renouncers. The sick and the healthy, singers, dancers, and even Maulvis came to pay their respects at his court. The crowd also featured various folk performers and ascetic groups, including Gondhalis, Jogis, and Nanak-panthis. This wide spectrum of people, from the wealthy and noble to the blind and lame, highlights the universal nature of Baba's appeal, drawing everyone with love to the 'Almighty Sai.'
