From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Chandigarh is a city in India that serves as the capital of two states: Punjab and Haryana. However, the city does not belong to either state. Rather, the city is administered by the federal government and hence classified as a union territory. Chandigarh is also the name of this union territory.
Chandigarh was a planned city until 1983, like Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat, until 1972.
Several buildings in Chandigarh were designed by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier in the 1950s.
