What's the story behind the two flags at the Ram Navami festival mentioned in the book?

The two flags at the Ram Navami festival in Shirdi are a symbol of long-standing devotion by two prominent followers. As detailed in Chapter 25, these two large new flags are taken out in a procession every year. One flag belongs to the Nimonkars, and the other belongs to Damu Anna, a wealthy devotee from Ahmednagar. For both, providing these flags was a regular vow fulfilled for many years with 'uninterrupted love and devotion.' The text mentions that the procession would start from the house of Kondaji Sutara, accompanied by musical instruments, and conclude with the long banners being tied to the two ends of the Masjid, demonstrating a significant and cherished local tradition.
