The mosque where Sai Baba resided was a unique blend of different traditions, not a typical Muslim place of worship. Chapter 7 describes it as containing a sacred fire, or Dhuni, which burned continuously. The sounds of ringing bells and blowing conches, typically associated with Hindu temples, could be heard there. For daily life, the mosque was equipped like a household, containing a grinding stone and a winnowing fan for the sack of wheat that was kept there. In addition to these items, the text also mentions the presence of a beautiful, specially made Tulsi Vrindavan, an altar for the holy basil plant, which is a central element in Hindu worship.
