In the mid 1960’s, a Public Works Department employee began collecting stones from the Shivalik Hills along with discarded ceramics and scraps from the nearby villages. From these fragments, he began to construct an imaginative world of his own making. Piece by piece and rock by rock, this private vision took shape as a garden of reclaimed dreams. Conceived and built in secret, the project expanded gradually over the years until it was eventually discovered. What emerged was the extraordinary Rock Graden of Chandigarh, a monumental environment of sculptures, pathways, architectural follies fashioned entirely from salvaged materials. And at the heart of this remarkable achievement was Nek Chand Saini.The sculptures presented here throw light on Nek Chand’s enduring vision: an art practice that nurtures resourcefulness, collective memory, inventive spirit and the creative potential embedded within the everyday. Through these works, the exhibition celebrates an act of radical reuse that transformed waste into wonder and imagination into a living monument.
