As detailed in Chapter 25, the annual Ram Navami festival in Shirdi featured a significant procession involving two large new flags. Damu Anna's role was crucial; one of the two flags belonged to him as part of a regular vow he maintained for many years out of love and devotion, while the other belonged to the Nimonkars. The process of the celebration is described as starting from the house of Kondaji Sutara, the carpenter. From there, the flags were taken out in a procession accompanied by the sound of musical instruments, and the event would culminate with the long banners being tied to the two ends of the Masjid.
