Prehistoric Origins
Chandigarh's ancient roots trace back to a prehistoric lake encircled
by a marsh, offering a glimpse into its heritage.

Post-Independence Creation
As part of the partition of India in 1947, the Indian
province of Punjab was divided into East Punjab in India
and West Punjab in Pakistan. The capital, Lahore,
became part of Pakistan.

 Albert Mayer

Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, envisioned a new city to
serve as the capital of Punjab, instead of shifting the capital to an existing
city.Partap Singh Kairon and Edward Nirmal Mangat Rai played key roles in
establishing Chandigarh as the capital.

Albert Mayer was initially tasked with designing the city based
on superblocks and green spaces. After Mayer's partner's death,
Le Corbusier took over and created the city's layout with sectors
and administration buildings.

Chandigarh became the capital in 1953 and was

inaugurated by India's first president, Rajendra Prasad.
