That the scrap in the form of this garden of rocks, stones was most unique and should be maintained in its original condition, free from architectural interference.<br>In 1976, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nek_Chand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nek Chand<\/a>&#8211; the Rock Garden was officially inaugurated.
