Oh, I so love the story behind this wall.

Nek Chand was a government official who began creating the rock garden during his spare time, secretly collecting materials from demolition sites around the city and recycling them. His work was illegal, but he hid it for eighteen years. By the time it was discovered, it was a 13-acre complex with interlinked courtyards, filled with hundreds of pottery-covered concrete sculptures of dancers, musicians, and animals.
