"Curiously, the Garden seems simultaneously made and not made for the visitor, and I felt as though I had happened across a great secret—despite the fact that on that day, like any other at the Garden, thousands of other paying visitors are also enmeshed in the same “secret.” Tracy Ann Buck Bonfitto from The Rock Garden: A Study of Memory, Place-Making, and Community in Chandigarh, India (Dissertation).

“(Nek) Chand’s private vision engaged India’s collective spirit. Here, what has been called “outsider” art proves more culturally affirmative than the aesthetic of high modernism officially endorsed and imposed as the architectural vision for the region.”
