The Ram Navami festival in Shirdi featured a significant procession with two large new flags. As detailed in Chapter 25, one of these flags was provided by the Nimonkars, and the second was provided by Damu Anna, a wealthy devotee from Ahmednagar. This was a regular vow he fulfilled for many years with great love and devotion. The procession would commence from the house of Kondaji Sutara, the carpenter, and proceed through the village accompanied by the sound of musical instruments. Finally, these long banners were tied to the two ends of the Masjid.
