[Chandigarh] is the biggest example in India of experimental architecture [...] It hits you on the head and makes you think. I like the creative approach, not being tied down by what has been done by our forefathers but thinking in new terms […] in the ultimate analysis, a thing which fits in with social functions is beautiful.

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Former Prime Minister of India
