It is bordered by Punjab to the west and south, and Haryana to the east. Located 260 km north of Delhi and 229 km southeast of Amritsar, Chandigarh encloses most of Chandigarh Capital Region and the satellite cities of Panchkula and Mohali which form part of a \u201cTri-City&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name Chandigarh is derived from the Hindu goddess Chandi, whose temple is present in the Panchkula district. One of the earliest planned cities of post-independence India, Chandigarh is known for its modern architecture and urbanity. The master plan of the city and most of the government buildings were designed by the Swiss French architect, Le Corbusier. Chandigarh\u2019s Capitol Complex, a part of his designs, was declared by UNESCO, a World Heritage Site in the 40th session of the World Heritage Conference in July 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tri-city, of which Chandigarh is a part of, has a population of over 1,611,770 according to the 2011 population census. Chandigarh is quite prosperous and has the highest per capita among Indian states and union territories. One of the best places to live, Chandigarh, has many luxury apartments and townships. The union territory has one of the highest Human Development Index among the cities of India. According to one of the surveys conducted by the electronics giant LG in 2015, Chandigarh is the happiest city in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;It is one of the few cities in India which has masterfully blended monumental architecture, modernisation and culture. This has made many renowned developers come to the city. Omaxe, with its masterful projects, commands a significant presence in the Chandigarh region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-brief-history-of-chandigarh\"><strong>Brief History of Chandigarh<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the partition plan devised by the British, the former British province of Punjab was divided into mostly Hindu and Sikh east Punjab in India and predominantly Muslim West Punjab in Pakistan. The capital of undivided Punjab, Lahore, went to Pakistan. The first Prime Minister of India, Jawahar Lal Nehru, instead of shifting the capital to an already existing city, envisioned creating an altogether new city to serve as the capital of Punjab. Shimla served as the temporary capital of the state before Chandigarh was built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Albert Mayer planned a super block-based city with green spaces interspersed among cellular neighbourhoods. The plan was left mid-way when Mayer\u2019s architect partner, Matthew Nowicki died in a plane crash. The same plan was picked up by Corbusier, who retained most of the original plan of the city. Along with designing many administrative buildings, Corbusier also designed \u2018The Open Hand\u2019, a 26-metre-high sculpture that signifies according to him &#8211; a sign of peace and reconciliation, open to give and open to receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Capital city was officially inaugurated by India\u2019s First President, Rajendra Prasad on 7 October 1953. On 1 November 1966, after a long-drawn movement that demanded a separate Punjabi state, the former state of Punjab was split into Punjabi-speaking Punjab and Haryanvi and Hindi-speaking Haryana. Both states share Chandigarh as their capital city until a resolution is reached. The city is directly controlled by the Central government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Things Chandigarh is famous for<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omaxe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/things-chandigarh-is-famous-for.webp\" alt=\"things chandigarh is famous for\" class=\"wp-image-11781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omaxe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/things-chandigarh-is-famous-for.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.omaxe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/things-chandigarh-is-famous-for-300x180.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.omaxe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/things-chandigarh-is-famous-for-768x461.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.omaxe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/things-chandigarh-is-famous-for-370x222.webp 370w, https:\/\/www.omaxe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/things-chandigarh-is-famous-for-470x282.webp 470w, https:\/\/www.omaxe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/things-chandigarh-is-famous-for-150x90.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Architecture and Modern planning<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Chandigarh is famous for its meticulous planning and modern architecture.
