Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, May 28, inaugurated the new Parliament building and installed the historic and sacred golden sceptre ‘Sengol’ near the Lok Sabha Speaker’s chair. The new complex is much bigger and finer with stunning features when compared to the old Parliament building. Triangular in shape, the new Parliament building which replaced the old circular structure lies just opposite to the 90-year-old complex that housed both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
Lok Sabha: The new and enormously-built Lok Sabha Chamber is designed in the likeness of India’s National Bird, the Peacock. The new Lower House of Parliament is twice in size in comparison to that of the old house.
