Several key devotees had distinct roles during the Chavadi procession, highlighting their close relationship with Sai Baba. According to Chapter 37, Tatya, who affectionately called Baba 'Mama', would hold His left hand. On the other side, Mhalasapati held Baba's right hand. Bapusaheb Jog had the honor of holding the umbrella over Baba's head as they walked. Additionally, there were chowrie-bearers who fanned Baba from both sides. A mace-bearer walked in front shouting Sai's name, and heralds would announce the procession's movement. This organized escort demonstrates the deep reverence and love the devotees had for Baba.
