Organisers of the Karaga procession, a 300-year-old event in Bengaluru, were asked not to visit Hazrat Tawakkal Mastan Dargah, a Sufi shrine, but they continued the tradition by visiting it in Cottonpet, the report said.

Twelfth-century Hoysala King Vishnuvardhana consecrated the temple to mark his victory in 1116 against the Cholas. He called it Vijaya Narayana, which remains a landmark in Karnataka and attracts millions of tourists and devotees from India and abroad.

Karnataka has for the last few months been in news for a series of controversies over issues like the wearing of the hijab, inter-faith relationships, halal and calls for prayers.
