The procession for the two large new flags during the annual Ram Navami festival was a well-known event for the residents of Shirdi. As detailed in Chapter 25, the procession would commence from the house of Kondaji Sutara, the carpenter. From there, the flags—one from the Nimonkars and the other from Damu Anna—were carried through the village accompanied by the sound of musical instruments. The procession would conclude at the Masjid, where the long banners were tied to the two ends of the building. This event was a significant part of the festival, with Damu Anna's participation being a regular vow fulfilled with love and devotion for many years.
