Sai Baba's mosque in Shirdi was highly unconventional due to the presence of numerous items and activities associated with Hindu worship. According to Chapter 7, the mosque housed a sacred fire, or Dhuni, which burned continuously. It was a place where bells were rung and conches were blown, sounds typical of a Hindu temple. Devotees performed ritual worship, including the washing of feet, and constant Bhajan (devotional singing) took place. The mosque also featured a grinding stone for wheat, a specially made Tulsi Vrindavan (an altar for the holy basil plant), and even a polished wooden chariot for festival processions. These elements made his dwelling a unique symbol of his transcendent nature.
