7 Most Instagrammable Spots In Vadodara For Stunning Photos
Vadodara or Baroda, is a place where heritage and modernity perfectly merge. If you're a fan of photographing natural scenery then Vadodara is all for you. Between the magnificent palaces, gardens and street art, there is no end to its photogenic backdrops. The 7 most Instagrammable places in Vadodara you can't miss. Grab your camera or phone, get going! 1. Laxmi Vilas Palace We can't talk about Instagrammable places in Vadodara without including the Laxmi Vilas Palace. It is four times as large as Buckingham Palace and of Indo-Saracenic architecture. The great halls, carved carvings and manicured lawns are a photographer's dream. If you are shooting portraits of landscapes, there is something royal about this place every single shot. For the best photos: Go during golden hour when it's still and light is flattering. Be sure to take a photo of the grand doorway and stained-glass window. 2. Sayaji Garden (Kamati Baug) Sayaji Garden is a park in the heart of the city, and it gives you lots of photo ops. There is a zoo, toy train and the Baroda Museum and Picture Gallery. The manicured flower beds and fountains make this place feel extra special. Sayaji Garden is great for posed and unposed photography, it will please nature and history lovers alike. Tips for the perfect shot: The toy train trip offers some fantastic positions for zany dynamic shots. You don't want crowds so come in the early morning. 3. Sursagar Lake The lake Sursagar has the best waters with the giant statue of Lord Shiva standing in its centre, so you have to visit it for beautiful reflections and calm vibes. The surface of the lake perfectly reflects the statue, and it's an Instagram hit. Visit in the evening to witness the lights of the city flashing across the water. Pros for getting the shot right: A long exposure photo gives me lucid water reflections. Go for the footbridges for a change of scenery. 4. Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Champaner-Pavagadh is an island of historical and architectural splendour. This old mosque, fortress and stepwells are set to great drama. The walk to Pavagadh Hill is worth it if you can afford it because you get a beautiful vista of the rural area (that would have made for an insta-perfect shot for the daring). Tips for a good shot: Frame your photograph with jharokhas (balcony windows). Don't come here during midday, when it is hard to photograph. 5. Mandvi Gate The Mandvi Gate, an amazing Mughal masterpiece, is the most famous building in Vadodara. The illuminated gate appears particularly romantic at night which is why this place is a popular light trail photo location. Its symmetrical shape is useful to compose visually balanced images. Hints on how to get it right: Grab a wide-angle lens and get the whole gate. It takes a tripod to take photos at night. 6. Ajwa Water Park and Gardens Ajwa Water Park and Gardens is all fun and art with scenic scenery and thrilling water rides. Musical fountains: These are beautiful to watch, as well as photos taken with awe, particularly in the evening shows. There are many photo spots due to the bright light and good design of gardens. Tips on how to get the picture: Watch the dancing fountains when they show their show in the evening. Garden photography is best during clear days. 7. Nyaya Mandir Nyaya Mandir (Temple of Justice) — The magnificent structure of Vadodara. It is constructed Indo-Saracenic and the detailing and symmetry of the building are an instant photo opportunity. Although a courthouse, its facade is pretty Instagrammable. Tip for a great picture: Go through the arches and columns to bring out the handiwork. All black-andwhite edits work best for this place. Wrapping Up Vadodara has it all from the ancient monuments to the natural beauty spots and hence, an ideal spot for photographers. Each location is its own tale and gives your Instagram feed depth and glamour. If you're a local or new, these seven spots will have you taking amazing photos and keeping you in the memory.
