Union Territory and capital of Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh is a unique city. Being only four decades old, its Nehruvian idealism is in stark contrast with the modern generation, rapid industrial development on the outskirts, a larger flow of tourists heading further north, leading to a population perpetually on the move and the mushrooming of hotels, restaurants and other in-transit facilities. The tranquil and pollutien-free environs, shorter distances and the sharp contrast between dull exteriors and plush interiors are the delight of Chandigarh’s inhabitants. Even though the Le Corbusier architecture tends to be a trifle monotonous at times; the wide tree-lined boulevards and avenues, easily defined localities nominated as ‘sectors’, a great amout of greenery, the Rock Garden, lake and the general sense-of- organization – all contribute towards making Chandigarh a charming place to live in and visit.
