Introduction of Chandigarh
Chandigarh is the capital of Haryana and Punjab. It is one of the most beautiful and planned cities in the world. It is an ultra modern city. Chandigarh is designed by Le Corbusier. It was built in 1953. The name of the city is derived from Goddess of power known as Shri Chandika whose temple is on Chandigarh- Kalka Road. The temple is known by the name of Chandi Mandir.it is administered by the Central Government and is hence classified as an union territory . Since 1986 there has been much talk about officially handing it to Punjab on the basis of demography. The issue however continues to be a matter of discussion with many political disputes.
