Chandigarh

Chandigarh is a union territory and the capital city of two Indian states, Punjab and Haryana. Notable for its modernist architecture and urban design, it was planned by the French architect Le Corbusier in the 1950s. The city is known for its clean and organized layout, greenery, and efficient public parks, such as the famous Rock Garden created by Nek Chand. Chandigarh is often regarded as India’s first planned city, reflecting a blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal. It serves as a hub of education, culture, and governance in northern India.
