The first major sociological study of this city was a 1968 work by Victor D'Souza. This city is situated on an alluvial plain at the base of the Siwalik range, a fact which explains its great agricultural productivity as a result of the Green Revolution. This city takes its name from the nearby temple dedicated to the goddess Mani Majra, and its attractions include a rock garden featuring sculptures by the artist Nek Chand. Bounded to the north by the artificial Lake Sukhna, this city comprises 50 mostly square sectors. This city's plan was laid out with the help of Maxwell Fry, Jane Drew, and Pierre Jeanerret, and its architecture made use of a "parasol," motif which the main architect had borrowed from Fatehpur Sikri and employed in the buildings of this city's Assembly, High Court, and Secretariat. For 10 points, identify this Indian city planned by Le Corbusi
