Sukhna Lake
Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh is man-made, created by damming the seasonal stream that comes down from the Shivalik Hills, Sukhna Choe. Le Corbusier’s greatest creation, his vision for Sukhna Lake still lives on. During summers, there are streams of men, women and children from all walks of life offering voluntary service to desilt the lake bed for about three months. Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh, India, is a reservoir at the foothills of the Himalayas, the Shivalik hills. Sukhna is an inseparable part of the city of Chandigarh. The city planners were deeply attached to the lake. True to his words, even before the sun dawns over the lake and well after it sets, people of all ages can be seen walking, jogging, sprinting on the promenade, outlining the lake’s perimeter.
