The two large ceremonial flags were central to the Ram Navami procession and symbolized the deep devotion of two key followers. Chapter 0 explains that one flag came from Nanasaheb Nimonkar, a respected Honorary Magistrate who spent his last years in devoted service to Maharaj. The second flag came from Damu Shet Kasar of Ahmednagar. His contribution began as a vow of gratitude after his wish for a son was fulfilled through Maharaj's blessing.
