Chandigarh is a planned city that serves as the shared capital of Punjab and Haryana states, and is also a Union Territory in its own right, home to approximately 1.2 million residents in the city and 2.5 million in the tri-city area (with Mohali and Panchkula). Like all Indian cities, it operates on Indian Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30). Chandigarh was built from scratch as India's 'City of the Future' after Partition in 1947 divided the original Punjab capital (Lahore) into Pakistan. The visionary Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier was commissioned to design the city, creating one of the world's most celebrated examples of modernist urban planning — with wide boulevards, geometric sectors, and monumental government buildings including the Capitol Complex (Legislative Assembly, High Court, and Secretariat), now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Chandigarh consistently ranks among India's cleanest, most educated, and most prosperous cities per capita. The Rock Garden, created by artist Nek Chand using industrial waste, is one of India's most visited art installations.
