What were some of the surprising, Hindu-like activities that took place in the mosque where Sai Baba lived?

The mosque in Shirdi, where Sai Baba resided, was unique because it hosted many activities typically associated with Hindu worship, as detailed in Chapter 7. A sacred fire, or Dhuni, burned there day and night. The sounds of ringing bells and blowing conches, common in Hindu temples, were heard in the mosque. There were also fire offerings, constant Bhajan (devotional singing), and the ritual washing of feet. The chapter also mentions that grain was ground there, and in the assembly hall, there was a beautiful Tulsi Vrindavan, an altar for the holy basil plant, which is highly revered in Hinduism.
