What was Sai Baba's final appearance like after being fully decorated, and how did it change his perceived identity?

After the devotees finished their loving decorations, Sai Baba's appearance was transformed into something truly marvelous. Chapter 37 paints a vivid picture: a resplendent crown on His head, with gold and emerald necklaces and pearl strings shining on His neck. Garlands of fragrant flowers cascaded down to His feet. A beautiful black tilak on His forehead gave a 'very sweet beauty.' The cumulative effect of these adornments was so profound that it shifted the perception of His identity. The text concludes that, in that moment, the one who was known as a fakir appeared instead as a 'radiant, prominent Vaishnava,' his throat shining with an unprecedented glow.
