A central part of the Ram Navami fair celebration involves a grand procession with two large ceremonial flags. These flags were brought to the Masjid and tied at its two ends. The source text in Chapter 0 identifies the patrons who provided these flags. One flag came from Shankarrao Raghunath Deshpande, also known as Nanasaheb Nimonkar, an Honorary Magistrate who became a devoted follower in his later years. The second flag was provided by Damu Shet Kasar of Ahmednagar. This tradition of the two flags became a significant and enduring feature of the Ram Navami festivities in Shirdi.
Describe the ceremony of the two flags during the Ram Navami fair and who provided them.
