After being warned by Hindu activists and the BJP MP for Mysuru Kodagu Pratap Simha, authorities in Karnataka have changed the shape of dome-like structures atop bus stops in the city.

The activists and the MP claimed that the three domes, one big and two smaller ones, had given the bus stops the look of a mosque.

The authorities have now erected a "kalash" (sacred pot) on the domes overnight.

The bus stops are located in Mysuru's Krishnaraja Assembly constituency.
