Nek Chand was a sculptor and artist best known for building the Rock Garden of Chandigarh, a vast outdoor sculpture garden in the Indian city of Chandigarh.
- In 1957, he began secretly constructing the Rock Garden, utilising recycled materials such as broken tiles, disused bathroom fittings, and other waste materials he collected from construction sites and other sources.
- Despite opposition from local officials who attempted to demolish the garden at first, Nek Chand continued to work on the Rock Garden and was eventually recognised for his creative feat.
- The garden was designated as a public place by the Indian government in 1972, and financing for its construction was supplied. It is now a popular tourist destination and one of India's most unique and outstanding artistic creations.
- Nek Chand's work on the Rock Garden has received various medals and distinctions, including India's highest civilian honour, the Padma Shri.
