New Delhi, Jan 26 (PTI) The tableau of the Union Territory of Chandigarh that rolled down Kartavya Path on Sunday showcased the city as a blend of old heritage and modern architecture.
The tableau paid tributes to the City Beautiful, which was envisioned as a modern and progressive city offering a dignified life to all.
A sculpture of a man doing videography from the Japanese Garden mounted on the tableau showed how Chandigarh is becoming a preferred destination for film shootings due to its lush greenery, architecture and youth-centric lifestyle.
Nek Chand’s artistic creation – the Rock Garden — added to the beauty of the tableau.
Its side panel showcased the Vidhan Sabha’s outer wall in a mosaic of murals. The rear half of the side panel showed floating solar panels of Dhanas Lake — considered the largest floating solar lake of India.
Mounted on the trolley of the tableau, a lush green base showed how the city lends itself as a perfect gathering spot for the senior citizens, yoga enthusiasts, and tourists.
The Gandhi Bhavan, designed by Pierre Jeanneret, featured as a true epitome of architectural excellence.
The tableau also featured Rooster Bird Fountain, a tourist attraction at city Plaza, as well as cycle tracks and the public bicycle sharing system. PTI SKC SKY OZ OZ
