Who was Tatyasaheb Noolkar and what was his significant, specific contribution to the rituals surrounding Maharaj?

Tatyasaheb Noolkar, whose full name was Ra. Laxman Krishnaji, was the Munsif of Pandharpur who came to Shirdi on leave due to illness. According to Chapter 0, his deeper intention was to leave his job and spend his remaining days at Maharaj's feet, which is how his life concluded. His most significant and specific contribution to the rituals was being the person to perform the very first Aarti for Maharaj. This was a major event, as Maharaj had for a long time not allowed his Aarti to be performed, even after he had begun to accept personal worship from devotees. Tatyasaheb Noolkar, therefore, holds a special place in the history of Shirdi's devotional traditions.
