Chandigarh, in design, is analogous to human anatomy and is a shining glory of twentieth century urban architecture of India. It spans an area of 114 sq kms and houses a population of 9,00,635. Owing to its consummate geographical engineering, tree lined avenues and landscaped gardens, it is center of attention in India. It is Chandigarh's noetic design and strategic location, in close proximity to major hill stations of India, that poses a challenge to man's imagination. One of the enthralments of Chandigarh is the juxtaposition of beauty and rationality; gardens with malls and urban culture with rural touch.
