Who were the main individuals that escorted Sai Baba to the Chavadi, and what were their specific duties during the procession?

During the procession to the Chavadi, Sai Baba was personally escorted by a few of his closest devotees, each with a specific role. As Chapter 37 explains, Tatyaba Patil held Baba's left hand, while Mhalasapati held His right hand, guiding Him along the path. Walking alongside them, Bapusaheb Jog held an umbrella over Baba's head to shelter Him. In addition to this core group, the procession included chowrie-bearers who fanned Baba from both sides with fans in their hands, and a mace-bearer who walked ahead shouting Sai's name. This organized escort demonstrates the deep reverence and care the devotees had for Baba, ensuring his comfort and honoring him throughout the celebratory journey.
