    These are pictures from Rock Garden of Chandigarh designed by Nek Chand Saini an Indian self-taught artist in the year 1958. The place has been made from waste materials, industrial waste and thrown -away items. Spread over an area of 40-acres; the garden displays a view of mosaic courtyards linked by walled paths and deep gorges the garden, which is built by transforming different waste materials into art. Waste like discarded tube lights, rusting oil drums, broken tiles, shattered china and sanitary ware, glass bangles, unused building material, discarded street lights, burnt bricks, electrical fittings and wires, caps from bottles, bicycle handle bars, and other scrap. Moving through these sculptures on pathways surrounded by occasional waterfalls and river let’s give an overwhelming experience.
