Welcome to the Rock Garden - open every day (no Mondays off here) and an entry price of 15 Rupees (about 50 cents NZ) for Indians and foreigners alike. In Delhi most attractions have dual pricing with foreigners charged around 10 times the price for Indians.
The garden is a mix of rock bits and mosaic bits. We'll start with the rock bits. There are also water bits...
Walls are constructed from cement-filled sacks or cement-filled oil drums.
There are bits that remind you of Gaudi in Barcelona. Truth is they have both borrowed form Mughal/Islamic styles.
There are several amphitheatres - and I'd love to see s good concert or play here.
I called these the Jabberwocky trees - they are also coated in cement
Walls are constructed from various kinds of waste/junk:ceramic pots
electrical ?sockets
fluorescent tubes
This was Nek Chand's first hut. His second, current one, isn't much bigger
The pathway winds around until you don't know which way is up
...and sometimes it ends in single file and ducking to get through
Our access is on the tops of the walls - which is also a good vantage point
Some parts the public can't get to - still in the development stage
Here are the horses - probably the biggest of the mosaic animals
