Which festivals did Sai Baba encourage in Shirdi, and how were they observed as described in Chapter 7?

πŸ“– Chapter 7

Chapter 7 details how Sai Baba orchestrated the celebration of several festivals with great enthusiasm and impartiality. For the Hindu festival of Ram Navami, he would arrange for a cradle for Katha and Kirtan (devotional stories and songs), and also organize wrestling matches with prizes. For Gokul Ashtami, he would have the Gopal-Kala prepared. Concurrently, as described in Chapter 7, he honored Muslim traditions by permitting the Sandal procession on the same day as Ram Navami and allowing prayers (Namaj) during Eid without any hindrance. He even permitted a Tabut to be made and kept in the mosque during Moharram.
