Chandigarh has the unique distinction of being the capital of two states: Hariyana and Punjab. It is also a territory of its own right. The main attraction of this town (pop. 423 000) is its impressive modern architecture. The city was designed by the great French architect Le Corbusier who was commissioned for the job by the Indian government. The High Court Building is a standout. Chandigarh requires one night (its usually seen as a halfway stop between Delhi and Srinagar). 150 mi/240 km north of New Delhi.
