Chandigarh Part 2 - The Rock Garden!

This is the Rock Garden in Chandigarh. It was started by Nek Chand, an engineer and artist when Chandigarh was built. Villages were destroyed to make Chandigarh, so he took all kinds of items he found in the villages and made sculptures out of them. The Rock Garden is a garden made out of concrete, toilets, sinks, and broken bangles.

This is a cracked sink or toilet seat.

This is me standing in front of columns of clay pots.
