Chandigarh (, , pronunciation: / ) also called The City Beautiful, is a city in India that serves as the capital of two states: Punjab and Haryana. However, administratively, the city is not under the jurisdiction of either state, it is administered by the federal government and hence classified as a union territory. The Governor of the Punjab is the Administrator of Chandigarh.

The city derives its name from a temple of goddess "Chandi" (the Chandi Mandir) located in nearby Panchkula district of Haryana. The word Chandigarh literally means "the fort of goddess Chandi".

Chandigarh is known for its high standard of living and tops the list of Indian States (Provinces) and Union Territories with a Human Development Index of 0.674.
