A shrine is dedicated to his burial place on the Jhelum river which was actually a Langar, a community kitchen. In 2011 the Archeological Survey of India rejected the proposal to make it a National Monument even after the High Court ordered the Survey to accept it. Petitioner GA Lone filed a contempt petition against the official respondents. The High Court directed the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Secretary, Director, Archives and others to file a compliance report.[3]
