The Ram Navami fair featured a significant ritual involving two large ceremonial flags. According to the account in Chapter 0, on Ram Navami day, these two flags were paraded in a grand procession to the Masjid. Once there, they were ceremoniously tied at two ends of the building. The responsibility for providing these symbolic flags was shared by two prominent devotees. One flag was supplied by Nanasaheb Nimonkar, an Honorary Magistrate from Nimon. The other flag was provided by Damu Shet Kasar of Ahmednagar. This tradition illustrates how specific devotees were assigned particular roles in the community's celebrations.
