The Rock Garden

It is located in Sector 1, this unique sculpture garden is the work of the City's internationally acclaimed artist Nek Chand. Spread over 64 acres, it is a series of interconnected rocky grottos, walkways and landscaped waterfalls. The most powerful aspect of the garden is the thousands of animal and humanoid figures made out of discarded materials, which stand in rigid rows like silent, static armies. Nek Chand was a road inspector of the city Public Works Department when he began to transform a dump of discarded building materials. His unique work has been exhibited in Paris's Museum of Modern Art and in other cities around the world. The visitors are led through a maze of paths, chambers and canyons, each presenting a glimpse of a fantasy world.
