The tradition of the Ram Navami festival in Shirdi, as detailed in Chapter 25, involves a procession with two large, new flags. This was a well-known event for the residents of the village. One of these flags was provided by the Nimonkars, while the second was provided by Damu Anna as part of a vow he upheld with uninterrupted love and devotion for many years. The chapter further describes that the procession, accompanied by musical instruments, would commence from the house of Kondaji Sutara (the carpenter). The flags would then be paraded through the village and ultimately tied to the two ends of the Masjid.
