Chapter 7 details how the Masjid where Sai Baba resided was a hub of activities that defied conventional religious norms. The text points out several practices associated with Hinduism occurring within the mosque's walls. A sacred fire, or Dhuni, burned day and night. The sounds of bells ringing and conches blowing, common in Hindu temples, were heard. Furthermore, Chapter 7 mentions that offerings were made to the fire, Bhajans were constantly sung, food was distributed, and even ritual foot washing and worship took place there. These activities demonstrated the unique, syncretic nature of the space under Baba's influence.
