Mysuru: The entry to Statue of Liberty in New York costs $21, while the entry to the equally if not more famous, the Mysore Palace, used to cost Rs. 200 for foreigners and Rs. 40 for Indians. Since, there were lot of complaints from the foreigners about this discrimination, a uniform entry fee of Rs. 50 has been fixed. (However, the Mysore Zoo had already brought uniformity in rates sometime back).
This and other such decisions were taken at the Mysore Palace Board meeting chaired by State Chief Secretary Subhash Chandra Khuntia, here yesterday, at the Palace Board Executive Officer’s premises.
