Chapter 7 details several activities within the mosque that were characteristic of Hindu places of worship, making it a unique space. The text states that a sacred fire, or Dhuni, burned there day and night. The mosque would also have the ringing of bells and the blowing of conches, sounds typically associated with Hindu temples. Furthermore, Chapter 7 mentions that there was constant Bhajan (devotional singing), the distribution of food, ritual offerings to the fire, and even the ritual washing of Baba's feet (Pada-puja) by devotees. These practices demonstrated that the mosque under Baba's care was a place of worship for all, not confined to a single religion's customs.
