Thanks for sharing this place @KomalMaru great post and I have not seen a white peacock before either. Lucky you. Is it normal for tourism places near you to charge camera fees? I've never heard of that before.

@PaulPavlinovich I am glad you like the post and got to White Peacock. Yes, in India at few Tourist attraction places there are charges to be paid for camera.

I wonder how often that happens around the world @KomalMaru do they charge for phones?

@PaulPavlinovich At tourist attraction places yes they even charge for mobile phone. Usually its nominal charge for mobile phones and SLR / DSLR kind of cameras are charged more.
Also in India, unfortunately certain tourist attraction places, entry charges are high for International Tourist than domestic ones, which I personally feel is not fair. But thats how tourism here is 😞

Higher prices for tourists isn't unusual @KomalMaru, our theme parks charge locals less to enter.
Even our local bakery charges less if they know you're local :).

Hi dear @KomalMaru, this is one of my favorite places of Mysore, too. I really appreciate the well written post & the video. Can I humbly suggest to edit & add at least ONE STILL PHOTO, so that the post will have cover photo - OK?
Have gone for the Boat ride? It is also very enjoyable.
Your comments on cameras International Tourists are very correct - very sad....
By the bye, @aaryesdee, have you been here? What do you feel?
Thanks

Dear Paul, fortunately, we have a large number of White Peacocks in India. In Karanji Lake, the beauty is that we can see them in open, within the Aviary area - a great place.
Camera is big burden her in India; almost all tourist centres charge heavily; many places, photography is restricted too. Many places, I go with prior permission from the authorities, to avoid unpleasantness.
You know one funny thing? Few places, 'STAND [TRIPOD] PHOTOGRAPHY' is strictly prohibited - no one could explain the reason to me... really sad.
One more sad point, dear @PaulPavlinovich:
Karanj Lake, Mysore is one of the best places in Mysore, but NOT KNOWN to many & not PROMOTED by tourist operators; I represented this point twice to the authorities - just to get a reply "We will surely look into the matter" - that is it.

There were lots of beautiful birds, the time when we went, dear @KomalMaru.
This close up, to best of my knowledge, is from the aviary:
