  1. Famous Tourist Places In Chandigarh

  2. Chandigarh is the best planned city in India. Its architecture is recognized worldwide and its quality of life is unmatched. Capital of the states of Punjab and Haryana, and the territory of the Union in Chandigarh, it is a prestigious city. The face of modern India, Chandigarh, is the manifestation of a dream that Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru envisioned the execution of Le Corbusier. Serenity and a city are two diametrically opposed concepts, which are however hidden in the "beautiful city". Chandigarh is a rare example of modernization coexisting with the preservation of nature. It is here that trees and plants are as much part of construction plans as buildings and roads. The first planned city of India is a rich, prosperous and epic green city, aptly called “THE CITY Beautiful”.

  3. Capitol Complex The Capitol Complex is Le Corbusier’s most spectacular work. The magnificent edifices, set against the Shivalik peaks, stand “as massive concrete sculptures, representing the monumental character authority that the complex represents. It is the seat of the government of the States of Punjab and Haryana. It comprises three epoch-making master-pieces: the Secretariat, the High Court and the Legislative Assembly. Separated by large piazzas, the subtle and most evocative grouping of these buildings is of breath-taking beauty. And in the centre stands the giant metallic sculpture of The Open Hand, the official emblem of Chandigarh, signifying the city’s credo of ‘open to give’ open to receive’.
