The procession was a vibrant sensory experience, largely due to the variety of instruments and celebratory items used. The account in Chapter 37 mentions a wide array of sounds, including horns, trumpets, 'Tas,' 'Jhanj,' cymbals, mridanga, and veena. The celebration was also visual, with fireworks like 'Nale' and 'Chandrajyoti' being lit, torches shining on all sides, and devotees carrying colorful banners and flags. Even the path was honored, with shawls and double shawls spread as foot-cloths for Baba to walk on.
