Other major shopping districts include sector 22 and sector 15. Last but not the least for Chandigarh residents is the famous Tribune building acting, as the local newspaper's hot spot with its little news board.
| | | Planned complex | | It is a juxtaposition of cuboid building blocks and open spaces. In the evenings shoppers and tourists, enjoy eating ice creams or popcorns, sitting on the steps of the "dove of peace" spout, where water cascades down from one level to another in geometrically shaped tanks, amidst delightful play of colourful lights. All the buildings are four storeyed. Originally, Le-Corbusier wanted to raise some high-rise buildings but influenced by the limitations of building materials and methods, he adopted a uniform four-storey height for all the buildings.
| | | About | | This 3-square-kilometre rain fed lake created in 1958 by damming the Sukhna Choe, is a seasonal stream coming down from the Shivalik Hills. Serious ‘walkers’ pursue an exercise regime and families enjoy an evening stroll. It attracts migratory birds from lands as far as Siberia and elsewhere.
| | | Location | | This manmade picturesque Sukhna Lake lies in the foothills of Shivalik range. It is an idyllic place for quiet communion with nature and for offering water sports activities like boating, yachting, water skiing, etc. The creation of Lake was one of the greatest gifts from Le Corbusier and P L Varma Chief Engineer. | |
