Based on the descriptions in Chapter 7, the mosque where Sai Baba resided was highly unusual and incorporated many elements of Hindu worship. While it was a mosque, the text highlights that a sacred fire, or Dhuni, burned there day and night. The sounds of ringing bells and blowing conches, common in Hindu temples, were heard in the mosque. Furthermore, activities such as the grinding of grain, constant bhajans, offerings to fire, ritual washing of feet, and the distribution of food took place there. The chapter even notes the presence of a Tulsi Vrindavan, a sacred basil altar, in the assembly hall, making his dwelling a unique blend of traditions.
How did the mosque where Sai Baba lived differ from a typical mosque, based on the activities described in Chapter 7?
