The roof was also damaged, allowing the rain water to seep into the hall, damaging the carvings. The beautiful structure is now getting restored to its original looks. The moss from the delicate and porous yellow stones was cleaned using pressure machines. The building's supporting terrace is completely restored now. A water repellent roof was reconstructed to ensure that water does not seep inside, in future. The first phase of the restoration is over. In second phase, it has been planned to replace the old English styled window panes, with newer ones. Second phase will resume after the monsoon season. Future plans There is also a tentative plan by the Shinde Devasthan Trust to come up with a small museum in the gallery of the hall at Shinde Chatri, after the restoration work is completed. Etiquette Chhatri means umbrella in Marathi. As a sign of respect to the great warrior, visitors are required to close their umbrellas inside the premises, even if it is raining.
