During the procession to the Chavadi, several close devotees had specific roles. Chapter 37 details that Tatya, who lovingly called Baba 'Mama', would place a golden-bordered shawl over Him. During the walk, Tatyaba would hold Baba's left hand, while Mhalasapati held His right. Bapusaheb Jog had the honor of holding the umbrella over Baba's head. Additionally, two chowrie-bearers would continuously fan Baba, and a mace-bearer walked ahead, shouting Sai's name, while heralds also called out with love.
