Why were there so many lights and lamps during the Chavadi procession?

The Chavadi procession was a grand and joyous celebration, and the extensive use of lights was a key part of its festive nature. As mentioned in Chapter 37, the area around the Masjid was decorated with "many rows of lamps," and "torches shone on all four sides." Furthermore, fireworks like 'Nale' and 'Chandrajyoti' were lit as soon as Sai Baba began to move. These lights were not for a practical need but were integral to the celebratory atmosphere, illuminating the path, highlighting the decorations, and contributing to the magnificent and beautiful spectacle of the procession for the joyful devotees.
