What was the significance of the two flags mentioned in the story of Damu Anna?

During the annual Ram Navami festival in Shirdi, a central tradition was the procession of two large new flags. As Chapter 25 explains, this was a well-known event for the residents. One of these flags belonged to the Nimonkars, and the second one belonged to the devotee Damu Anna. For Damu Anna, providing this flag was a regular vow that he had fulfilled for many years with continuous love and devotion. The procession would start from the house of Kondaji the carpenter, proceed with music, and conclude with the long banners being tied to the two ends of the Masjid.
