Chandigarh is the best-planned city in India, with widely acclaimed architecture. As the capital of the state of Punjab and Haryana, and the Union Territory of Chandigarh it is a prestigious city. The essence of modern India, Chandigarh, is the manifestation of a dream that Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru visualized and Le Corbusier executed. Serenity and a city are two entirely inverse ideas, which however, get belied in the 'City Beautiful'. Chandigarh is a rare epitome of modernization existing together with nature's preservation. It is here that the trees and plants are as much a part of the construction plans as the buildings and the roads.
