'Please let Le Corbusier rest in peace' - by K J S Chatrath

Open Hand Chandigarh


Chandigarh's Open Hand- copied by Le Corbusier from the common Fatima's Hand symbol in the Middle East without acknowledging!

I was reading an old article in the Times of India today: "Let 'Charbagh' crown Capitol's unfinished symphony" - by Rajnish Wattas

And this is, inter-alia,  what Mr. Wattas writes, "Le Corbusier had conceived the Capitol a cosmic landscape than an architectural composition- a tribute to Shivaliks".

 My take: Ha-Ha & Ha..

It reminds me of an old English limerick:

Learned commentators view,
In Shakespeare, more than Shakespeare knew!

 Please let Le Corbusier rest in peace
