Chandigarh's UNESCO World Heritage Status
The question asks to identify the Union Territory whose Capitol complex was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in July 2016, specifically under the inscription ‘Architectural work of Le Corbusier’. This recognition highlights the significance of the planned city's architecture.
Identifying the Correct Union Territory
- The inscription ‘Architectural work of Le Corbusier’ includes buildings and sites designed by the famous architect Le Corbusier across several countries.
- In India, the Capitol Complex of Chandigarh, a Union Territory and city, is a prime example of his work.
- This specific complex was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in July 2016, fulfilling all conditions mentioned in the question.
- Other options like Delhi, Diu and Daman, and Pondicherry do not fit the criteria for this particular inscription and date.
Therefore, Chandigarh is the Union Territory whose Capitol complex received this prestigious UNESCO designation.
