Can you elaborate on the tradition of the Ram Navami flags in Shirdi and Damu Anna's role in it?

Certainly. During the annual Ram Navami festival in Shirdi, a prominent tradition involved a procession with two large new flags. As detailed in Chapter 25, one of these flags was provided by the Nimonkars, and the second one was provided by Damu Anna as part of a regular vow he maintained for many years with great devotion. The procession would commence from the house of Kondaji Sutara, the carpenter. Accompanied by musical instruments, the flags were paraded through the village and ultimately tied to the two ends of the Masjid.
