World-acclaimed Rock Garden is unique to the city. It consists of art objects, fashioned from industrial and Urban waste. A tourist spot, must on the itinerary of every visitor.

An unpretentious entrance leads to a magnifcent, almost surrealist arrangement of rock fossils, broken chinaware, discarded fluorescent tubes, broken and cast away glass bangles, building waste, coal and clay-all juxtaposed to create a dream folk world of palaces, soldiers, monkeys, village life, women and temples. These are open air sculptures, one display separated from the other concealed gateways such that this magical world unfolds in phases. You have to see it to believe it, and will then not forget it. All of this is enhanced by a waterfall, pools and an open air theatre with proper stage setting. Several prestigious performances have been staged here.

The Rock Garden has become almost a heritage site. Artists and connoisseurs from all over the world flock to see this unique and awesome creation. The concept is daring the appeal perennial. Visitors leave in admiration, only to return again. The creator of the Rock Garden, Nek Chand, used to be a roads inspector in the Engineering Department. He is today ranked globally among the foremost creators of our times. We are foremost creators of our times. We are fortunate to have him in our midst and some of us never fire of attempting to comprehend the totality of his vision.
