The creator of the rock garden in chandigarh nek chand continued to develop his extraordinary site in the heart of this northern indian city until his death in june 2015 at the age of 90we visited on a rather murky day just before christmas. The rock garden appeared on an indian stamp in 1983. He had been the foremost self taught artist in the world and his extraordinary achievement in building the 25 acre rock garden complete with 2000 statues waterfalls and amphitheatres is unsurpassed. Based on the citys grid system linking sector to sector and it is supposed to be a journey.
I was disappointed overall with my visit to the fantasy rock garden created by nek chand and opened 7 july 1988. We will not see his like again and send our heartfelt condolences to his family.
