Can you detail the specific traditions of the Ram Navami festival in Shirdi that involved Damu Anna, as mentioned in the text?

πŸ“– Chapter 25

As detailed in Chapter 25, the annual Ram Navami festival in Shirdi featured a grand procession with two large new flags. Damu Anna was responsible for providing one of these flags, a vow he had maintained for many years out of devotion. The other flag was provided by the Nimonkars. The chapter notes that the procession, accompanied by musical instruments, would start from the house of Kondaji Sutara, the carpenter. After the procession through the village, the two long banners were tied to the ends of the Masjid. Furthermore, the text mentions another of Damu Anna's practices during the festival: he would ensure that whatever Fakirs came to Shirdi were fed to their heart's content.
