During the procession to the Chavadi, prominent devotees had distinct and honored roles. Chapter 37 highlights the deep love between Baba and Tatya, who would place a beautiful golden-bordered shawl over Baba before they left. As they walked, Tatyaba held Baba's left hand while Mhalasapati held His right, carefully guiding Him. Above them, Bapusaheb Jog held a large umbrella over Baba's head. These specific duties, along with chowrie-bearers fanning Him, demonstrate the organized reverence and deep affection the devotees had for Sai Baba during this nightly ritual.
