THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE DECIDING

POINTS NOT IN FAVOUR

1. Permission required

Coming under one of the tourists places Jantar Mantar and hence requires a permission for the pre wedding shoot to be shot there. For the same purpose there is a office located there and the permission can be taken from the members for the pre wedding shoot.

2. No Backdrops

There are no backdrops other than the three yantras and the green grass. If you want some different shots, you can go to the Central park that’s near the Jantar Mantar but for that too there are many other options. Jantar Mantar is a limited area and doesn't acquire many backdrops.

3. No Props

The other problem to be faced at the Jantar Mantar is the problem of props. Props and backdrops are like the ornaments of the pre wedding shot and without them the shots look simple and common. Thus it is one of the major problems to be faced at Jantar Mantar.

4. Unvailability of changing rooms

Changing rooms are not available at the Jantar Mantar and around there. Though the nearby areas do have public toilets but they can not be used for the purpose of changing clothes. The last option remains for the couple is to come shoot ready.

5. Style of Dresses

The couple has to choose a single outfit for the pre wedding shoot because of the unavailability of the changing rooms. They are left with no styles and choices of the dresses.

6. No privacy

Jantar Mantar is a public place and by time has become the lover’s point as well. A number of young couples can be seen at the location. The couple has to deal with the public for their shoot.
