Shimla

Shimla

---

 

Declared in 1864 as the summer capital of British Raj in India, this city of hills is now the capital of Himachal Pradesh. The British fondly called it as the "Queen of Hills" and was their refuge from burnig plains of India. British started building in Simla around 1822 after annexing it in 1819, just after Gurkha war.

 

It is a very popular tourist destination, especially amongst the North Indians. Called Simla by the British, it is named after goddess Shyamala Devi, a form of Kali goddess.

 

About 7,000 ft. altitude, Shimla is surrounded by forests of oak, rhododendron and pine. It's British period buildings add to the

 quaint charm. From just the temple for the goddess to a few hundred cottages within 10 years, Shimla did see rapid growth brought in by the British.

 

Sir John Lawrence, Viceroy of India 1864–1869, moved his administration twice a year between Shimla and Calcutta thus establishing the tradition of summer capital.

 

The two bazaars, (the "Upper Bazaar") and Lower Bazaars are fascinating to visit. 

 

The high officials of British Govt. such as the Commander in Chief, patronised Shimla. They were joined the wives and daughters of men who remained in plains. This gave birth to Simla Society, the closest British India came to having an upper crest. Many

 bachelors and unattached men frequented this very expensive destination with limited accommodation giving rise to gossip about adultery and intrigue.

 

The Kalka Shimla rail link was built in 1906. It had 806 bridges, 103 tunnels was an engineering feat and was known as 'British Jewel of the Orient'. Now it is a UNESCO world heritage site.

Named after the Hindu goddess Chandi, Chandigarh literally means "The Fort of Chandi". It is the capital of two Indian states - Haryana and Punjab.

India's first prime minister Jawahar Lal Nehru had a personal interest in establishement of Chandigarh. Initial master plan was prepared by Albert Mayer - an American architect. He was assisted by the Poland born architect Matthew Nowicki. After Nowicki

s death in 1950, Le Corbusier was pulled into the project to design modern India's first planned city.

 

Chandigarh has the highest per capita income in the country. It is also the cleanest city in India.

 

The need to create Chandigarh arose due to partion of India by the British in 1947. Lahore, the capital of Punjab went to Pakistan and the Indian part of Punjab required a capital city. Various cities were considered, for any of them to be the capital but suitability was not found for various reasons - even with possible alterations and additions.

 

The city was designed on grid pattern, each grid being called Sector implying self-sufficiency of each sector - at least theoretically - space for working, living and leisure. A green belt surrounds Chandigarh, making it famous for its greeness.

 

The city has forests around it which is habitat to many animal and plant species. Sambars, Deers, Barking Deers, Woodpeckers, Parrots, Peacocks are residents of these protected forests. There is a parrot sanctuary in city.
