Overview

Chandigarh, a city in northern India, serves as the capital of both Punjab and Haryana. Known for its unique architectural design, it was planned by the famous Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier. The city stands out with its well-organized sectors and wide, tree-lined avenues. One of its key features is the Capitol Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which includes important government buildings like the High Court, Secretariat, and Legislative Assembly. The citys design ensures a balance between urban development and green spaces, making it one of Indias cleanest cities.

Visitors to Chandigarh can explore the Rock Garden, a remarkable artistic creation made from industrial and urban waste. Sukhna Lake offers a peaceful spot for leisure activities such as boating and walking. Additionally, the citys Rose Garden, the largest in Asia, attracts nature enthusiasts with its extensive variety of roses. Chandigarh also serves as a gateway to the nearby hill stations, providing easy access to the Himalayan foothills.
