The Pump House at Sukhna Lake was designed in the 1960s by Pierre Jeanneret, Le Corbusier, and PL Varma. This cylindrical brick structure, connected to the lakefront by a gently sloping ramp, features clean geometric modernist forms and exposed brickwork. Now converted into the Sukhna Interpretation Centre, the building guides visitors along the walkway where life unfolds naturally, with dogs lounging, people strolling, couples enjoying romantic dates, boating and rowing animating the lake, reflecting residents and their life in Chandigarh’s modernist heritage
