What specific festival prompted Sai Baba to give money to the group of four devotees from Madras?

According to the narrative in Chapter 29, Sai Baba's distribution of money was not necessarily tied to a specific festival. The text poses a rhetorical question in verse 6: 'Was it for festivals or special occasions? Daily, in this manner, with satisfaction, he would give.' This implies his generosity was a regular, daily practice rather than being reserved for special events. While he did give the group from Madras eight rupees and eight annas, the text does not link this specific act of charity to any particular festival, emphasizing instead that Baba's giving was a constant, though unpredictable, aspect of his nature.
