Which Indian City Has the Most “Chowks”?

🧠 Did You Know?

When it comes to traffic chowks, no Indian city even comes close to Chandigarh.
It proudly holds the title of India’s Roundabout Capital, with over 60 major chowks — and countless smaller ones — carefully placed across the city’s grid.

But here’s the cool part: this wasn’t random.

Chandigarh’s chowks are part of a master design created by legendary French architect Le Corbusier, who envisioned the city as a perfectly planned, flowing organism. Chowks were the heart of that flow.

🛣️ What Makes Chandigarh’s Chowks So Special?

• Each chowk has a name or number (like “Sector 17 Chowk” or “Transport Chowk”).
• They replace traffic lights at many intersections — keeping vehicles moving smoothly.
• They’re aesthetic, often filled with sculptures, plants, or art installations.
• They also act as local landmarks — people use chowks for directions, meetups, and even neighborhood identity.

No wonder Chandigarh is one of the most livable cities in India — and the only one where getting stuck at a red light is kind of rare.

📊 How Many Are There, Really?

• Over 60+ major chowks
• Spread across Sectors 1 to 63
• Supported by broad, straight roads, dedicated service lanes, and green buffers
• Even the nearby towns of Mohali and Panchkula follow similar chowk-first road planning

This isn’t just traffic management — it’s a movement philosophy.
