A FRESH BEGINNING AT THE ROCK GARDEN, CHANDIGARH
Head to this embodiment of creativity, resourcefulness and invention aka Nek Chand’s Rock garden - a bizarre vision of a native government official who, beginning in 1957, created over 2000 sculptures by means of stones, debris and other rejected waste.
Today, spread over a whopping 40 acres, this sculpture garden is like none other. Things like steel drums, light switches, broken bathroom sinks, concrete, terracotta scrap and bicycle frames have been used to create these.
Do not miss the mass of dancing girls made from broken glass bangles, waterfalls, the dolls museum, and an elegant colonnade of tall curves with hanging rope swings.
