Who were the key individuals in Sai Baba's Chavadi procession and what specific roles did they play?

Several key devotees played specific, loving roles in the Chavadi procession, as highlighted in Chapter 37. Tatya Patil held a special place; Baba would wait for him, and Tatya would help Baba stand and then hold His left hand during the walk. Mhalasapati, another prominent devotee, would hold Baba's right hand. Bapusaheb Jog had the honor of holding the umbrella over Baba's head to shield Him as the procession moved. Additionally, there were unnamed chowrie-bearers who fanned Baba, mace-bearers who walked ahead shouting His name, and heralds who called out with love, all contributing to the organized and reverent procession to the Chavadi.
