Proposed New Look
In early 2008, there were plans to modify the basic design of the marble structure. The project was sponsored by Capt. Kapil Raina and family. However, Dr. Karan Singh, who is the trustee of the Dharmarth Trust that looks after the affairs of this shrine and many other pandit-shrines of Kashmir, refused to carry this proposal forward. He believed that the native Kashmiri Pandit community, in general, won't be happy with the change of the look of the old structure.

Famous quotes containing the word proposed:
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
