Who was Damu Anna and what details are given about the flag procession he was part of?

Damu Anna was a wealthy bronze-smith from Ahmednagar and a great devotee of Sai Baba. According to Chapter 25, he is known for his vow related to the Ram Navami festival. The text specifies that two large flags are part of the festival procession in Shirdi. One belonged to the Nimonkars, and the second was provided by Damu Anna. The procession would start from the house of Kondaji Sutara, the carpenter. Accompanied by the sound of musical instruments, these flags were then taken in procession and ultimately tied as long banners to the two ends of the Masjid.
