Mysore Palace security bribe for camera

• Police
• Activities on Beat
• Paid INR 20

After putting my camera bag through the xray machine at the entrance I was first told that cameras are not allowed and that I had to walk back 5 minutes to camera check office. When I objected I was told that I could go in with the camera if I paid something. I was willing to pay a small bribe to save the time and trouble of returning but the system is set up for abuse. I saw the same bribe asked from the next several visitors.
