The Parliament House, also known as Sansad Bhavan, stands in the heart of New Delhi and serves as the seat of India’s legislative authority. Designed by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, its construction began in 1921 and was completed in 1927. The building is distinguished by its circular design, inspired by classical and Indian architectural elements, featuring an impressive colonnaded façade and expansive inner chambers where the country’s laws were debated and enacted for decades.

After India’s independence in 1947, Parliament House became the center of democratic governance, housing the Lok Sabha (House of the People) and the Rajya Sabha (Council of States). It played a crucial role in shaping modern India’s political framework and continues to hold deep national significance. Although a new Parliament building has been inaugurated nearby in recent years, the original structure remains an important symbol of India’s democratic heritage and architectural legacy, reflecting the transition from colonial administration to a sovereign republic.
