No more glam: Bengaluru iconic Lalbagh Botanical Garden may bar photo shoots, reels; officials cite ecological damage, public discomfort

Following Cubbon Park’s ban on film and wedding shoots, Lalbagh Botanical Garden in Bengaluru is contemplating similar restrictions. The horticulture department is drafting a proposal to prohibit all photo and video shoots, including pre-wedding, baby portfolios, and commercial filming. This initiative aims to balance public access with the crucial need for ecological preservation within the garden.
