During the procession to the Chavadi, Sai Baba was surrounded by a retinue of devotees with specific roles. Chapter 37 explains that Tatyaba Patil held Baba's left hand while Mhalasapati held His right hand, guiding Him along the path. Bapusaheb Jog had the duty of holding a large umbrella over Baba's head. Additionally, there were two chowrie-bearers who walked on either side of Baba, fanning Him. A mace-bearer walked out in front, shouting the name of Sai, and heralds would also call out with love as the procession moved. This organized group ensured Baba was honored and comfortable throughout the journey.
