Certainly. The Ram Navami festival in Shirdi featured a significant procession involving two large flags, a tradition detailed in Chapter 25. One flag was provided by Damu Anna as part of his vow, and the other belonged to the Nimonkars. The procession followed a specific route, starting from the house of Kondaji Sutara, who was a carpenter. From this starting point, the flags were carried through the village, and the procession was made festive and vibrant with the "sound of musical instruments." The event would culminate when the long banners were tied to the two ends of the Masjid, marking a central and devotional part of the annual celebrations in Shirdi.
