a) About Chandigarh

Chandigarh is a city and union territory in India that serves as the capital of two states, Punjab and

called Chandi Mandir, devoted to the Hindu goddess Chandi, in the city. It is also referred to as The City

Beautifuldue to its beautiful surroundings, central grid of gardens, each dedicated to different species of

flora.

and urban design. The city has projects designed by architects such as Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret,
