Chandigarh
Chandigarh, the 1st planned modern city of India designed
by the French architect Le Corbusier serves as the capital of both Punjab
and Haryana. However, the city does not belong to either state. Chandigarh
was constituted as a union territory on 1st November, 1966 and is administered
by the Government of India. The city is named after the mother goddess
of power, Chandi, and a fort or 'garh' beyond the Chandi temple. The city
is divided into 47 numbered sectors. It has well-laid roads lined with
rows of trees and beautifully planned buildings. Against the backdrop
of the Siwalik smountains, the city looks charming. Chandigarh experiences
extreme climate. Best time to visit this place is October to March. Know
