Manimajra , now renamed as Sector 13 [1][2] by U.T. Government, is a small historical town in Chandigarh.
The notifications regarding renaming of this town were issued by the Punjab Governor and Chief Administrator of Chandigarh, VP Singh Badnore under the Punjab Reorganization Order 1966 under the Sub-section (2) of Sector-1 of the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulations) Act 1952. [3]
It is mainly a residential hub having various societies such as Modern Housing Complex, Duplex, Rajeev Vihar and Uppal's Marble Arch. Two multiplexes, Fun Republic and DT mall, are situated nearby for shopping and cinema. It is the residence place of Aditya Sharma.
The Rajiv Gandhi IT Park of Chandigarh is also planned in Manimajra. Various corporations – such as, Airtel, Infosys, Tech Mahindra – have built their campuses here. A 5-star hotel 'The Lalit' is also there at IT Park with a petrol pump before the hotel.
The town also is home to an old fort which is undergoing restoration as a part of an Archeological Survey of India's restoration project. Parts of the Hollywood film Zero Dark Thirty were shot in Manimajra.[4]

It has a small bus stand of its own, where people can board a bus to all major locations of Chandigarh.[6]
