Who were the main people accompanying Baba during the procession to the Chavadi and what did they do?

Several key devotees had specific roles while accompanying Sai Baba to the Chavadi. Chapter 37 provides a detailed account of this arrangement. Tatyaba Patil held Baba's left hand, while Mhalasapati held His right hand, escorting Him along the path where shawls were spread as foot-cloths. Bapusaheb Jog had the honor of holding the umbrella over Baba's head throughout the procession. In addition to these three, there were chowrie-bearers who walked on both sides, fanning Baba with fans. A mace-bearer also walked in front, shouting the name of Sai, contributing to the reverent and celebratory event.
