- Although the monument has been under the protection of the Archaeological Survey of India and ceased to function as a formal religious structure for more than a century. However some sections of religious people have asked for opening of the monument for puja. In the normal course, Hindus are allowed to perform puja on every Tuesday while Muslims can offer namaz every Friday, while the structure is open to all on rest of days.
