Chandigarh, designed by the famous French architect Le Corbusier, is a city and a union territory in India that serves as the capital of two states, Punjab and Haryana. It's known for its modern architecture and broad streets. The city is divided into sectors that are numbered, with each offering residential and commercial areas, preserving the city's well-planned look. Chandigarh houses the famous Rock Garden, created by Nek Chand from industrial and home waste items, and Sukhna Lake, a popular spot for jogging, picnics, and boat rides. The city is also known for its greenery, with numerous parks and the Zakir Hussain Rose Garden, Asia's largest rose garden, featuring over 1,600 species of roses and many varieties of trees. The Capitol Complex is a government compound designed by Le Corbusier and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city's well-maintained roads, cleanliness, and orderly lifestyle make it distinct from other Indian cities and an epitome of urban planning.
