Manimajra offers a unique glimpse into the pre-Chandigarh history of the region. * **Mani Majra Fort:** A historical fort over 300 years old, built by local rulers. Though parts are in disrepair, it is a fascinating piece of local heritage and gained international recognition when it was used as a filming location for the Hollywood movie *Zero Dark Thirty*. * **Sector 13 Distinction:** In a charming piece of modern trivia, the Chandigarh administration officially renamed Manimajra as **Sector 13** in 2020. City planner Le Corbusier had originally skipped the number 13 due to superstition, making Manimajra the neighborhood that finally completed the city's grid. * **Mansa Devi Temple:** Located just on the border in Panchkula, this magnificent temple complex was originally patronized by the Maharaja of Manimajra and remains heavily tied to the town's cultural identity.
