What were the key elements of the Chavadi procession mentioned in the Sai Satcharita?

📖 Chapter 51

The Chavadi procession was a grand and joyous event, described in Chapter 51 as a memorable occasion of "double joy," especially on Thursdays. A grand bhajan with cymbals and mridanga would begin the festivities. The procession itself featured a decorated horse named Shyam-Sundar dancing at the front, accompanied by the sounds of horns, bugles, and trumpets. Devotees carried flags, banners, and torches, while fanning Sai Baba with peacock feathers and whisks. Baba walked with a royal umbrella over His head, surrounded by devotees singing bhajans, creating a scene of royal splendor.
