Chandigarh
Chandigarh - the 'City beautiful' designed by famous French
Architect, Le Carbusier is known for its unique architecture
and well planned landscaping. It derives its name from a temple
'Chandi Mandir' located in the vicinity of the site selected
for the city. It is a modern city housing the Capital of two
States Punjab and Haryana and the seat of 'Union Territory'
Administration. Bounded on two sides by two seasonal rivulets,
the northern edge of the city is the Capital Complex against
the panoramic backdrop of the Shivalik hills. A harmonious blend
of buildings, trees and other landscape elements, with the beautiful
backdrop of the Shivalik hills, enhance its aesthetic value.
The most fascinating feature of the City's landscaping is perhaps
the Tree plantation along avenues, open spaces, green belts
and around building complexes. A number of beautiful avenues
with conspicuous tree species, well wooded forests along the
periphery of city, 'Sukhna Lake' against the backdrop of Lake
Reserve Forests, green belts running across the length and breadth
of the city and a beautiful 'Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary' on its
periphery further enhance the ecological, environmental and
aesthetic richness of the city.
