What unusual activities and items, not typically found in a mosque, were present where Sai Baba lived?

Chapter 7 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra highlights several elements in the mosque where Sai Baba resided that were uncharacteristic of a traditional Islamic place of worship. The text poses a series of rhetorical questions to emphasize this point. A sacred fire, or Dhuni, burned day and night within the mosque. The sounds of bells ringing and conches blowing, common in Hindu temples, were also heard. Other activities mentioned include the offering to fire, the constant singing of bhajans (devotional songs), the ritual washing of feet, and the grinding of grain on a grinding stone kept there. Furthermore, the chapter notes the presence of a beautifully made Tulsi Vrindavan, an altar for the holy basil plant, which is sacred in Hinduism.
