The procession to the Chavadi featured several key attendants with specific roles around Sai Baba. According to the account in Chapter 37, Tatyaba (Tatya Patil) held Baba's left hand, while Mhalasapati held His right hand, guiding Him along the path where shawls were spread as foot-cloths. Bapusaheb Jog was responsible for holding the umbrella over Baba's head to shield Him. Additionally, two chowrie-bearers flanked Baba, fanning Him as they walked. The procession was led by the fully adorned horse Shyamakarna and a mace-bearer who shouted Sai's name, forming a devotional escort.
