Chandigarh is a union territory that serves as the capital of two north Indian adjacent states, Punjab and Haryana. It is not controlled by any of the states because it is part of both, but rather by the Union Government.

Chandigarh is a well-planned city with spacious avenues, gorgeous parks, lakes, and municipal buildings. It was one of the first planned cities in the country after independence, and it is recognized globally for its urban planning and architecture. It was designed by Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier in 1950. Apart from that, Chandigarh is one of the safest cities in the country, with the lowest crime rate.

Shopping

With India's greatest per capita income, the city is home to some of the country's most prestigious brands; Sector 17, Sector 22, Sector 35, and Manimajra are just a few of the most interesting high-end shopping destinations.

It goes without saying that Elante Mall is Northern India's largest mall and a major shopping destination.

A Centre For Education

The city of Corbusier is home to of the country's greatest educational institutions. These include the Punjab University, which has illustrious graduates like as former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The city also intends to build a cutting-edge Education City, and the Punjab Engineering College will be granted Indian Institute of Technology status.

The Indian Institute of Management and the National Institute of Design will both open branches here, according to the authorities. This is why Chandigarh has a thriving rental housing industry that is expected to continue to expand.

Transportation

Road: Chandigarh is well connected to a number of adjacent cities via national roads. The city has the most automobiles and is regarded the entrance to Himachal Pradesh, as well as being near to the national capital, Delhi.
Railways: Chandigarh railway station is part of the Northern Railway zone and has connections to all of the country's main cities.
Air: Chandigarh Foreign Airport is located approximately 12 kilometers from the city and serves all major Indian cities as well as international destinations such as Dubai, Bangkok, and Sharjah.

A Burgeoning City

Land in Chandigarh was once exceedingly costly for obvious reasons. Land prices in this UT were significantly higher than in other Indian state capitals. And, until recently, obtaining inexpensive housing in this area was difficult, owing to a lack of supply caused by limits on development operations on the outskirts. However, the city's population was increasing, and more room was required.

According to government predictions, Chandigarh's population might reach 19.5 lakh by 2021, nearly four times the amount for which the city was designed. As a result, the UT administration pushed building at the city's outskirts. With project-based builds in places like Dhakoli, Dera Bassi, Kharar, Mani Majra, Mohali, Panchkula, and Zirakpur, the supply of residential units in Greater Chandigarh is progressively expanding.

Destinations To See

There are a number of well-known sites worth visiting in the City Beautiful. The famed Rock Garden is the first thing that springs to mind when visiting Chandigarh. The garden is a must-see, with over 2000 sculptures made from municipal garbage. The Capitol Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, follows. This lovely complex contains a lake, as well as various other spectacular structures and the well-known Open Hand Monument.

Walk down to the Government Museum and Art Gallery to learn more about the city's history. Le Corbusier's architecture and design are represented at the museum with sketches, papers, and photographs. Leisure Valley, which is a gorgeous mosaic of lakes, gardens, and walks, should also be visited.
