About Photoshoot Location Rental
What Makes Us Different
I like to think of The Tamarind Tree as more than just a spot to click a few photos. This place feels alive. Tucked away in Bangalore, my heritage property is where old-world charm meets nature. Honestly, it’s not your typical rental - it’s got soul. Every nook here has seen stories unfold, and you’ll feel it.
One Place, Many Vibes
Inside our gates, you get variety. Want classic South Indian vibes? There’s a temple pond (kalyani) with stone steps, and a pavilion where ducks roam about. The old colonial bandstand with pillars from Calcutta sits on a lush lawn - looks pretty regal in both daylight and fairy lights. Walk through corridors with antique pillars, pose against exposed brick, or swing from a flower-decorated tree swing. If you want an indoor portrait shoot venue, our suites - Arundati & Vasishta - have antique furniture and colourful walls, perfect for those regal or intimate shots.
Light, Mood, and Space
Mornings here are soft and golden, with sunlight filtered through ancient branches. Night shoots get a magical feel when fairy lights come on. You’ll find garden photoshoot spots all around, from manicured lawns to dense foliage.
Who Books Us
I’ve hosted pre-wedding shoot location Bangalore seekers, maternity portraits, couples, families - people who want a private, elegant space rooted in South Indian heritage but not stuck in tradition. If you want a natural light photography space with a quiet, understated vibe, this might be your spot.

Awards are nice, sure, but watching a moment turn into a memory that feels like home? That’s the real deal.
