What specific rituals and offerings were performed once Sai Baba was seated in the Chavadi during the procession?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 51

Once the procession arrived and Sai Baba was seated with honor in the Chavadi, a series of devotional rituals and offerings would take place. Chapter 51 provides a rich description of these acts. Devotees would lovingly adorn Baba with various items, including ornaments, a crest, a plume, a beautiful golden crown, or a deep-colored turban and a gold-embroidered dress. Garlands made of diamonds, pearls, and emeralds were placed around His neck. Furthermore, some would anoint His body with sandalwood, another would apply a fragrant mark of musk on His forehead, while others would wash His feet and offer worship with water. Finally, someone would place a betel leaf, or 'tambool', in His mouth.
