The Gardener's Tale

Photographed at Rock Garden of Chandigarh. It shows some old decorated pitchers made up of soil.
Rock Garden of Chandigarh is a Sculpture garden at India. Rock garden's initiative was taken by its founder Nek Chand secretly in his spare time in 1957. Nek Chand began collecting materials from demolition sites around the city. He recycled these materials into his own vision of the divine kingdom of Sukrani. His work was in serious danger of being demolished, but he was able to get public opinion on his side, and in 1976 the park was inaugurated as a public space.
