What role did Damu Anna play in the annual Ram Navami festival in Shirdi?

Damu Anna played a significant and consistent role in the annual Ram Navami festival. As detailed in Chapter 25, he had taken a vow to provide one of the two large new flags that were carried in the festival's procession. This was a vow he upheld for many years with great love and devotion, with the other flag being provided by the Nimonkars. The procession would start from the house of Kondaji Sutara, the carpenter, and the flags would be taken with musical accompaniment to be tied to the two ends of the Masjid, marking a key part of the celebration.
