FAQs On Rock Garden
The Visionary Artist and History: The Rock Garden of Chandigarh, also known as Nek Chand's Rock Garden, is a sprawling, unique sculpture garden entirely built from industrial and home waste and discarded items. It was secretly started by its founder, Nek Chand Saini, a government official, in 1957 d uring his spare time. For years, the garden grew unnoticed in a secluded forest area. When it was discovered in 1975, the city authorities initially considered demolition, but the public outcry and the sheer artistic merit of the work convinced them to grant it official status and fund its completion. It now stands as one of the most famous tourist attractions in India, a testament to innovative recycling and visionary art. Materials and Themes: The garden is a fascinating labyrinth of interconnected paths, artificial waterfalls, and vast open-air chambers housing thousands of sculptures. These sculptures are meticulously crafted from broken glass bangles, ceramic tiles, porcelain, metal scrap, tube lights, and various industrial wastes. The phases of the garden depict different themes, from human and animal figures to complex architectural forms like a symbolic village, each narrating a silent story of transformation. The concept beautifully merges environmental consciousness with high folk art, earning it international recognition. It is a must-visit destination for those who appreciate creativity and sustainable art. The continuous flow of water bodies adds to the garden's serene and magical atmosphere. (Word Count: ~400):
