What You Will Do
Using my decade-long experience as a journalist, & being born and raised here my whole life, we will explore culturally iconic landmarks such as the Capitol Complex, The Rock Garden, 3 different types of museums one solely dedicated to architecture and many, many more hidden gems.
You'll hear the authentic story behind the city's construction, its socialist vision, its current state of capitalist living & its contrast with Corbusier's master plan. Hear and witness the insider stories of corruption, bureaucracy, VIP privilege & how Chandigarh still tried to remain accessible to all while seeing the open hand.
We will get exclusive inside access to public offices, buildings & different types of housing more than 45 years old designed by Pierre Jeanneret .
NRI? Foreigner? Single female traveler? Couple? Influencer? Diplomat? Official business trip? A large crowd of architectural students? Hippie backpacking through India? Awkward amount of time to kill? Family? No problem!
