A city of northern India north of Delhi. It was laid out by a European team of architects led by Le Corbusier. Population: 856,000.

Chandigarh, union territory and city, NW India. The city is the capital of both Haryana and Punjab states. It was designed by Le Corbusier and built largely in the 1950s, on a site chosen for its climate and water supply, to replace Lahore, which was given to Pakistan when India was partitioned in 1947. Punjab Univ. is in Chandigarh. The territory is administered by the central government of India. When the Punjab was divided into the states of Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh was retained as the capital of both states. It was to be transferred to Punjab in 1986, but violence due to Sikh separatism forced a postponement of the shift.

The telephone dialing code for: Chandigarh, India

More about Chandigarh

The city was commissioned by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of independent India, to reflect the new nation's modern, progressive outlook. Nehru famously proclaimed Chandigarh to be "unfettered by the traditions of the past, a symbol of the nation's faith in the future." Several buildings in Chandigarh were designed by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier in the 1950s. Le Corbusier was in fact the second architect of the city, after the initial master plan was prepared by the American architect-planner Albert Mayer who was working with the Polish-born architect Matthew Nowicki. It was only after Nowicki's untimely death in 1950 that Le Corbusier was pulled into the project.

Ultimately, Le Corbusier was responsible for the overall master plan of the city, and the design of some of the major public buildings including the High Court, Assembly, Secretariat, the Museum and Art Gallery, School of Art and the Lake Club. Most of the other housing was done by Le Corbusier's cousin Pierre Jeanneret, the English husband and wife team of Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew, along with a team of nine Indian architects -- M. N. Sharma, A. Ar. Prabhawalkar, B. P. Mathur, Piloo Moody, U. E. Chowdhury, N. S. Lamba, J. L. Malhotra, J. S. Dethe and Aditya Prakash.

Chandigarh is known as 'City Beautiful' of India and has distinct architecture. It is laid down in a grid pattern. The city is divided into identical looking sectors, each sector being 800m x 1200m. The sectors act as mini cities, self-sufficient neighborhoods, each with its own markets, places of worship, schools and colleges within 10 minutes walking distance from anywhere in each sector. Interestingly, while the city has sectors ranging from 1 to 60 (and increasing) Chandigarh has no Sector 13. An apocryphal story attributes this fact to Le Corbusier's belief that the number 13 is unlucky.

Sector 17 is the city's heart and retail centre. It is a favourite haunt for the city inhabitants for an evening out and has many restaurants and hotels. Sector 17 is also renowned for its many shops which carry a huge diversity of goods including most Indian and foreign brands.

Chandigarh is known for its high literacy rate (97%). Its popular schools and colleges include St. Anne's Convent School, St.John's High School, St.Xavier's, Sacred Heart Convent High School, Carmel Convent High School, St. Kabir High School, St. Stephens High School, DAV School, GCG (girls), GCM (Boys), Home Science College for Girls, Guru Gobind Singh College, Govt. Teacher Training College and DAV College.

Chandigarh also has outlets of worldwide chain restaurants like McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), Pizza Hut, Dominos and Ruby Tuesday. Chandigarh has one multiplex, Fun Republic, which is 10Km from sector 17. Chandigarh has a number of movie theatres, viz. Batra (Sector 37), Kiran (Sector 22), Piccadilly (Sector 34), Nirman (Sector 32), Neelam (Sector 17), Jagat (Sector 17) & KC (Sector 17).

Chandigarh also houses many institutes of higher learning, such as the Punjab Engineering College which has a 146 acre campus in Sector 12, and the Panjab University in sector 14.

Chandigarh started out with 2 major hospitals - the PGI in Sector 12, and the General Hospital in Sector 16. Recently, major health groups have built private hospitals in Chandigarh, such as Fortis in neighboring Mohali and Max Healthcare.

One of the unusual and popular features of Chandigarh is the Rock Garden of Chandigarh, built over 30 years by Nek Chand, a former road supervisor, from items discarded during the construction of Chandigarh. Other popular tourist places are 'The Rose Garden' in Sector 16, and 'Sukhana Lake' in Sector 6.

Sukhna Lake is an artificially created lake, extremely popular among the locals and tourists.

Chandigarh IT Park (also called Kishangarh IT Park) is the city's attempt to break into the IT world. Chandigarh's infrastructure, proximity to Delhi and Punjab, and the IT talent pool attracts IT businesses looking for office space in the area. Major Indian firms and multinational corporations including Dell, Infosys, Quark, Ranbaxy, Reliance and Satyam have offices in the park.
