Certainly. According to Chapter 25, Damu Anna, a wealthy devotee from Ahmednagar, played a significant role in the annual Ram Navami festival. It is a long-standing tradition in Shirdi for two large new flags to be taken out in a procession. One of these flags belongs to Damu Anna, a vow he has upheld for many years with uninterrupted love and devotion. The text mentions that the procession begins at the house of Kondaji Sutara, accompanied by musical instruments, and culminates with the long banners being tied to the two ends of the Masjid. This chapter highlights how this grand festival is celebrated beautifully each year, with Damu Anna also ensuring that any Fakirs who attend are fed to their satisfaction.
Can you tell me about Damu Anna's involvement with the Ram Navami festival in Shirdi?
