Chandigarh is the capital of Haryana and Punjab. It is one of the prettiest and best planned cities in the world. Chandigarh was designed by Le Corbusier and built in 1953. He conceived the master plan of Chandigarh as analogous to human body, with a clearly defined head (the Capitol Complex, Sector 1), heart (the City Centre Sector-17), lungs ( the leisure valley, innumerable open spaces and sector greens), the intellect (the cultural and educational institutions), the circulatory system (the network of roads, the 7Vs) and the viscera (the Industrial Area). The concept of the city is based on four major functions: living, working, care of the body and spirit and circulation. The name of the city is derived from Goddess of power known as Shri Chandika whose temple is on Chandigarh- Kalka Road.
Major tourist attractions in the city are rock garden, rose garden, pinjore gardens, international dolls museum, ChattBir zoo and more.
