Rock Garden in Chandigarh ロックガーデン チャンディガル

This is the challenging story of  minor tourist site in India.

"Rock Garden" is the garden which is located in Chandigarh, capital of Haryana and Punjab on north of Delhi. 

インドのマイナー観光地に挑戦。

Nek Chand  established this garden with waste things he collected. It took him over the past few decades to build it . The reason why he made it was because he wanted to gather people here in Chandigarh as a sight seeing spot by making this garden.

I saw a group of local school students visit there. They seemed to attend a camp school there.

インド人の観光名所の様子で、中高生集団が見学に来たり、日本で言うところの林間学校の雰囲気。

This beautiful garden was made by rock, tile cracks, light bulb socket, and vase etc. .
I didn't plan to go to this garden. I called in the garden during my spare time in my business trip in Chandigarh.

岩、割れタイル、電球ソケット、花瓶などを組み合わせで、きれいな庭を構成。

Along the way, this garden showed sculptures and monuments made by waste things. which most Japanese thought was not garden, I felt it's rather like old tombs. (Because Japanese old tombs are decorated with monuments.)

I can not recommend that you visit  there only to see this garden from far Japan, but   if you got tired of major tourist sites in india, I think this place is worth a visit.

途中、彫刻が出てきたり、廃品で作ったモニュメントが出てきたり、日本で言う古墳のような感じ。メジャー観光地に飽きた方なら楽しめるかも。
