Badshahi Mosque is one of the most iconic landmarks in Lahore. It is a Mughal era Masjid that has become one of the most popular places for Nikkah, wedding ceremonies and photography. However, we have bad news for all the people who wanted to have their wedding photoshoot in Badshahi Masjid.

According to the first-rate team of photographer Palwasha Minhas, Badshahi Mosque gatekeepers have banned wedding photography completely since yesterday, i.e. of December 19th.

Secretly, the photography community is happy with this decision as even when permission was granted for wedding photoshoots, only 15 minutes were given for photography. It gets troubling for the photographers to shoot in such a hurry.

Apparently government has banned professional wedding photography at the Badshahi Mosque. Excellent decision. No more weddings for which you have to trek all the way to Androon Sheher because the dulha dulhan want ~elegant shots of the nikkah~. — Nuzhat S. Siddiqi (@guldaar) December 20, 2019

What do you guys think? Is it a good decision that wedding photography has been banned in Badshahi Mosque? Also would this decision last or is it just a temporary thing? Let us know in the comments.
