Can you describe the Ram Navami flag procession in Shirdi that involved Damu Anna?

πŸ“– Chapter 25

Chapter 25 provides details about the annual Ram Navami festival procession in Shirdi. It was a known custom for two large, new flags to be taken out in a procession through the village. One of these flags belonged to the Nimonkars, and the second belonged to Damu Anna, a wealthy devotee from Ahmednagar, as part of a vow he had taken. This tradition was carried out for many years with 'uninterrupted love and devotion.' The procession would ceremoniously start from the house of Kondaji Sutara, the carpenter. Accompanied by the sound of musical instruments, the flags were paraded before the long banners were ultimately tied to the two ends of the Masjid.
