What was the atmosphere like in Shirdi as described in this chapter, particularly regarding the visitors who came to see Baba?

Chapter 29 paints a picture of Shirdi as a bustling place of pilgrimage, drawing diverse crowds due to Sai Baba's fame. The text explains that people developed a desire for his darshan after hearing about his generous and self-controlled nature. As a result, many visitors came, including a group of devotional singers from Madras, performers, bards, and devotees of Hari absorbed in singing. The atmosphere was filled with activity, as "Crowds came, performers danced, singers sang." This constant stream of visitors, from pilgrims on their way to Kashi to local children like Amani, shows that Shirdi was a dynamic center of spiritual attraction under Baba's influence.
