The Rock Garden sits near Sukhna Lake. It consists of man-made interlinked waterfalls and many other sculptures that have been made of scrap and other kinds of waste (bottles, glasses, bangles, tiles, ceramic pots, sinks, electrical waste, broken pipes, etc.) which are placed in walled paths. In his spare time, Nek Chand started collecting materials from demolition sites around the city. He recycled these materials into his own vision of the divine kingdom of Sukrani, choosing a gorge in a forest near Sukhna Lake for his work.
Rock Garden is major tourist attraction hotspot for Chandigarh. The play of landscape along with Nek-chands fantasy is exciting to study about. The synch of landscape amenities like waterfall, rocks, vegetation, sky cover, concrete, etc. makes the feel of space heavenly. Although one feels trapped in the experience of space yet there is sense of relief due to the landscape and accessibility of sky.
