Gandhi Bhavan
Gandhi Bhavan stands within Panjab University in Chandigarh, where its lotus-shaped form appears to float beside a tranquil lake. Pierre Jeanneret, Le Corbusier’s cousin, designed the building as a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi’s life and teachings.
Inside, a library gathers books, rare photographs, letters, and memorabilia linked to Gandhi’s philosophy of truth, non-violence, and simplicity. Cultural events, seminars, exhibitions, and discussions continue that focus on Gandhian thought and attract students, scholars, and visitors.
From the surrounding campus, the building’s flower-like silhouette and water setting create a quiet place for reflection and learning.
