He is offered his flute so that he can enchant his devotees and his Cowherd friends.
To signal end of the day, sudarshana chakra on the roof of the haveli is offered consecrated
food, and the seven Dhvajas (flags) are wrapped round their sticks until the next day. Chhitaswami is considered the chief musician for this darshana.
