Once the procession arrived and Baba was seated with honor in the Chavadi, a series of loving rituals would commence. As detailed in Chapter 51, devotees would adorn him with beautiful items to show their affection. This included placing a crest, a plume, a beautiful golden crown, or a deep-colored turban on his head. They would lovingly place garlands of diamonds, pearls, and emeralds around his neck. Furthermore, his body was anointed with sandalwood, a fragrant mark of musk was applied to his forehead, his feet were washed in worship, and betel leaf (tambool) was offered to him, completing the devotional service.
