Chandigarh: The Beautiful City of Northern India

It is the dream city of Sh. Jawatar Lal Nehru, the first Indian Prime Minister and was designed by Le Corbusier, a famous French Architect. Chandigarh serves as the capital of two Indian states, Punjab and Haryana, but was not located in either of the state for it is a territory union directly administered by the city government.
