WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH A BROKEN TANPURA?

I was looking for a solution for a broken Tanpura. My mother has a Tanpura with a broken tumba with missing pieces (house help knocked it down). Since she is actively purusing Hidustani classical music, she eventually bought another one and is reluctant to let go of the older one. Apparently the one that is broken, has no scope of being repaired as a couple of it's pieces are missing. We are now contemplating discarding or giving it away but we do not know how to do that since it is of great sentimental and religious value.
Any suggestions on how can we let go of it? (we obviously cannot give it for scrap)
