Pinjore Gardens Chandigarh Punjab Chandigarh In - 1947 when Lahore, the then capital of the Punjab in north-west India was ceded to Pakistan, the Indian Prime Minister, Jawahar Lal Nehru dreamt of building a modern city at par with Lahore. He commissioned French architect, Le Corbusier, to build his dream city. Chandigarh became a reality in 1960. The capital city for the adjoining North

Indian states of Punjab and Haryana, it works independently as a Union Territory, controlled by the Central Government.

Located on the foothills of the Himalayan Shivaliks, Chandigarh has grown from the original 29 sectors to 46. It is a typically North Indian city with one eye towards Delhi: every family has one member either working in the capital or at least a married daughter staying in Delhi. People in Chandigarh lead disciplined lives. Unlike its more industrial neighbours like Ludhiana, it's a service-oriented culture here. On the whole, a clean, educated and corporate place.
