| Chandigarh union territory, the modern capital of two states--Punjab and Haryana--is nestled in a picturesque setting in the foothills of Shivalik hills. The city is the creation of French architect, Le Corbusier and represents modern architecture and town planning. Chandigarh derives its name from goddess of power Chandi. The city was created after independence to serve the purpose of a capital city and also as a symbol of religious faith. Developed in just 40 years, Chandigarh is a strange mix of the old and the new, a city in transition. For being a beautifully well-mannered city and also a gateway to many hill stations of northern India, Chandigarh hails flocks of tourists throughout the year. The sun-bathed piazzas of the city, its neat housing clusters and the broad tree-lined avenues are visible manifestations of the planning precepts. No wonder Chandigarh is often called the "City Beautiful" or the "Garden City". Rock Garden, multi-coloured garden made of recycled waste products. The Secretariat, the State Library, Super Market, Sukhna Lake, Gulab Bag (rose garden), Shanti Kunj, the Art Museum, the High Court, Bidhan Sabha (secretariat) and the Panjab University—each is a fine specimen of modern architecture. Asia's largest rose-garden Zakir Gulab Bag and Sukhna Lake attract tourists a great deal. Tourism accommodation facilities are enough and comfortable in Chandigarh. There are a number of star category hotels catering to the needs of tourists coming to explore Chandigarh or interesting in exploring the scenic region around.
