Stay At The Hotels In Chandigarh And Experience The Beauty Of A Well Planned City!
The name Chandigarh means ‘The Fort of Chandi’, and refers to the ancient Chandi Temple in the city dedicated to the Goddess Chandi. It is also known as ‘The City Beautiful’ owing to its amazingly well planned overall design and architecture. The buildings are works of art and showcase exceptional architecture by internationally renowned architects such as Maxwell Fry, Jane Drew, Pierre Jeanneret, and the most popular of them all, Le Corbusier.
Today, the city is acknowledged for its cleanliness and is maintained so well that is offers among the best living standards in the entire subcontinent. Divided into 47 self sufficient sectors, every area in Chandigarh has its own share of public amenities such as open spaces, gardens, temples, hospitals, schools, etc. The hotels in Chandigarh too are properly distributed all over the city. After the initial plans materialized in the form of a well structured city, all the subsequent expansion that took place was in accordance with the initial spirit of the design. This makes Chandigarh a sight to behold even today and many an Indian city can learn a lesson or two from it.
The city is located at the foothills of the Shivalik Range and offers a splendid view of the mighty hills. The Rock Garden is among the most popular spots and has a peculiar story to it. Almost 40 years ago, a simple official Nek Chand started to clear a small piece of land to develop a garden. He set aside stones and tried to sculpt a few figures from recycled waste. Soon his passion grew leaps and bounds and the little garden with its sculptures expanded to several acres. Nek Chand’s work was eventually discovered and instead of demolishing it (the work was carried out on government land without the necessary permission) local officials recruited Nek Chand as an employee and even gave him a workforce to assist his endeavors. The Rock Garden that you see here today is a result of one man’s singular dedication.
The Sukhna Lake, Rose Garden, and the buildings of The Capitol, High Court, Secretariat, Legislative Assembly, and the Museum and Art Gallery as well as the Chandigarh Museum are among many other places of interest.
