The passionate hobby of Nek Chand, a government employee in Chandigarh, to convert waste material into artefacts, is the origin of The Rock Garden is located in the northern end of the City and is sandwiched between the Sukhna Lake, the High Court and the the Chandigarh Club. Nek Chand used broken/unfunctiional crockery, tiles, sanitary ware, tyres, Bangles, dustbins, tubelights, pebbles, marbles, bottles etc to convert them into meaningful artefacts in different shapes and sizes and divided them into different sections to facilitate viewing and maintenance by the staff. Visitors have to buy tickets to gain entrance and they can freely move around inside to see the work of art interspersed with bridges/culverts and waterfalls to add beauty to the place. Washrooms, cafeterias have been provided inside the complex running into several acres as the place continued to grow while Nek Chand was alive. As a one man show, made out of entirely waste material, it is a something extraordinary, which merits a visit and is frequented by Indian and overseas Visitors. The Rock Garden is one of its kind in the world and is synonymous with the name of Nek Chand, the Founder and Chandigarh, the City Beautiful !

We visited the Rock Garden at Chandigarh a few days back. A board at the entrance informs the visitor that the garden is the largest Of its kind in Asia and is spread over 40 acres of land and has over 800 varieties of roses. We spent over an hour ( clearly inadequate) exploring the garden and were very impressed with the magnificent spectacle of the huge number of rose plants of multiple colours including a bed of GREEN roses!! Many visitors thronged the garden and several families were seen enjoying a family picnic. One of the ‘Must visit’ sights for a tourist in Chandigarh.
