Description:
Between the silhouettes of the magnificent edifices of the Capitol Complex is juxtaposed the Chandigarh city's most popular visible symbol: the Open Hand. One of the most significant monuments planned by Le Corbusier in Chandigarh, is the symbol that denotes the city. Rising 85 feet high from a sunken trench, a giant hand in metal sheets is designed to rotate. It signifies the virtue of the city: Open to recieve and open to give.
