Chandigarh Attractions

A unique concept in the gardening arena is the charm of Smiriti Upavan of Chandigarh. This pretty garden is crammed with lovely trees. What makes this garden so special is that these trees are planted in the fond remembrance of the beloved ones. This would be the only place where common man is allowed to implant trees as a memorial of their departed ones. Thus each tree in this garden commemorates the sweet memory of someone who is no more.

This garden makes its literal meaning in to reality. The word Smriti means remembrance and Upavan stands for forest. Set up in the year 1988, this wonderful concept was started by planting a banyan tree in the name of Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru. Situated amidst the beautiful surroundings of Sukhna Lake and Rock Garden in Sector 1, Smriti Upavan is a perfect place to spend the time in a silent atmosphere.
