==Present scenario==
The villagers of the adjacent villages come here every Thursday to offer [[dua]] for the deceased and pray. The shrine of Aga Mir Syed Mohammad Baqir Mosavi is surrounded with cemented wall and the colour of the shrine is dark green. A separate committee was established in 1990 A.D. to look after the whole building. This ''Astan Welfare Committee'' collects all funds of the building and is headed by a president.  [[Astan Bandar]] (marsiya khani)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/wahabpora%23|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20141002040124/https://www.facebook.com/wahabpora%23|url-status=dead|title=Wahabpora Budgam|date=2 October 2014|archivedate=2 October 2014}}</ref> is organised every year in the month of August or September at the shrine.
