The mosque where Sai Baba resided was unique because it hosted numerous activities typically associated with Hindu worship. As described in Chapter 7, while it was a mosque, a sacred fire known as a Dhuni burned there day and night. The sounds of bells ringing and conches blowing, both central to Hindu rituals, were heard in the mosque.
