What was the specific plan for the Buti Wada's central hall, and what procedure was followed to get Sai Baba's approval?

📖 Chapter 39

The original plan for the central hall of the Buti Wada, conceived by Bapusaheb Buti, was to convert it into a temple. Chapter 39 explains his wish was to break the side walls, create a central courtyard with a throne, and lovingly install an image of Murlidhar. Being a devout follower, Buti would not start any work without his Guru's command. He tasked Madhavrao (Shama) with getting Baba's opinion. Shama approached Baba during a stroll and explained the plan. Baba responded joyfully, saying, "Very well!" To confirm the permission and begin the work auspiciously, Madhavrao asked if they should break a coconut. Baba replied, "Break it, break it!", and a coconut was immediately brought and broken, officially sanctioning the project's commencement.
