ROCK GARDEN; AN AMALGAM OF ART IN LAP OF NATURE

Chandigarh was conceived as a planned city by Mons. Le. Corbusier and to this day the development of
Chandigarh has been done according to his planning. Amongst these planned buildings and sectors lay an unusual
work of art, the Rock Garden, which was not only unplanned but was developed on government land without
permission. Despite being illegal, today it has become identity of the ‘City Beautiful’ world over. Rock Garden does
not fall into any conventional genre of art; it is a unique work which entwines many genres in it, so it is difficult to
categorise this art work in any single set. ‘Rock Garden’ consists of elements of various art genres, but still stands
independent in its own capacity.
