India has a rich historical background. There are many buildings, which are the pride of India. Here I would like to talk about the Parliament House in New Delhi. I visited this national building when I was in 10+2. Our school took us on an educational tour. I remember vividly, we were 40 students and 4 teachers.
It is not only important historically , but also architecturally. the architecture of this building depicts Indian Traditions and culture. Parliament House is one of the most magnificent buildings in New Delhi. Visitors to Delhi generally pay a visit to this Building. The two houses of parliament- the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha are located within its walls.
It is a huge circular building spread over 6 acres of land. the building has twelve gates among which Gate No.1 on the Sansad Marg is the main gate. The Central Hall is circular in shape and its dome, which is one of the most magnificent domes in the world.
The Central hall is a place of historical importance. The Indian Constitution was framed in the Central hall. At present, the Central hall is used for holding Joint Sittings of two Houses. The Chamber of the Lok Sabha is semi-circular in shape and has seating accommodation for 550 Members.
Rajya Sabha Chamber is smaller in size. It has a seating capacity of 250. The building is fully air-conditioned. It combines the value of both the old and the new forms of architecture. The outer portion of the building is finished in red sandstone. Though entry to Parliament House is free, it requires official permission for visitors to enter the Parliament.
The total time required to see the Parliament House is approximately 2 hours. The best time to visit Parliament House is when it is in session.
