As detailed in Chapter 25, the annual Ram Navami festival in Shirdi features a significant procession with two large, new flags. This tradition, well-known to the residents, involves one flag from the Nimonkars and a second one from Damu Anna, a devoted follower of Sai Baba. For Damu Anna, providing this flag was a regular vow fulfilled with great love. The text mentions that the procession would commence from the house of Kondaji Sutara, the carpenter, and proceed with the accompaniment of musical instruments. Finally, these long banners are tied to the two ends of the Masjid.
Can you describe the Ram Navami flag procession in Shirdi and Damu Anna's specific involvement?
