Life @ Chandigarh

Relocated to Chandigarh few months back. And It seemed it was a wonderful decision after all.
The city is beautiful, clean and much organized. Divided into sectors and has lot of gardens and trees all around.

Administratively, the city is not under the jurisdiction of either state, it is administered by the Central government and hence classified as a union territory. The Governor of the Punjab is the Administrator of Chandigarh.
The city derives its name from a temple of goddess Chandi (the Chandi Mandir) located in nearby Panchkula District of Haryana. The word Chandigarh literally means "the fort of Chandi".

Places like Manali, Shimla & Amritsar are very close by. Was one the fortunate ones to visit Vaishnodevi temple.
