About Chandigarh
Chandigarh is a India's youngest city
- planned by the famous French architect Le
Corbusier.
1 / 27
Capital of the States of Punjab and Haryana
- but does not belong to either of them. Instead, it
is...
A Union Territory
It means that the City is under the direct administration of the Government of India and not constituted as a
state with its own legislative assembly. A Union Territory in India is something like the District of Columbia in
the USA.

area
Total Area of Chandigarh: Chandigarh's urban area is much larger than its rural area

children in their native village or towns.

past 10 years.
