Question

Describe in your words the procession to Banaras from Chitoor.

Answer 1

Ans. Queen Jhali of Chittoor was a devoted disciple of Saint Ravidas. She sent a colourful and attractive procession from Chittoor to Banaras. There were elephants dressed with decorated clothes and soldiers in their uniform in the procession. Members of the royal family also participated in it. They were carrying expensive presents and varieties of fruits with them. They were coming not to meet any king or emperor. They were sent to meet the most poor person, who was the saint of saints and a great personality. He was a saint with high moral and possessing divine power. He was no one but Saint Ravidas. The procession stopped at the door of his small hut. They went there to honour Saint Ravidas, a sacred saint, whose residence was a holy and divine place. They honoured the saint and conveyed the humble message of the queen.
