This is a psychedelic garden that is build with some of the leftovers of the construction of the Capitol Complex. It reminds of the works of Niki de Saint Phalle or the phallic works of Kusuma Yayoi and appears to be the most visited sight of Chandigarh. Within the park you can find at least two man-made waterfalls and uncountable small gates that you have to walk throught to find your way out of the maze-like park.
