How much and how special is the new Parliament House of India!

The country is going to get a new Parliament building today. Under the Central Vista project, this building is special in many respects. Although many things are happening about this building and this project, but there is a lot of curiosity among the people regarding the features of the new Parliament House. Apart from the features, they want to know about the cost of the building, the material used in it, its design and even its architectural aspects. Let us know how the building of the new Parliament House of the country is and what are its features making it special.

Which buildings have fallen from
The most special thing about this building is its design. The building, developed as part of the Central Vista redevelopment project, has been designed by architect Bimal Patel. Located at a distance of 750 meters from the current Rashtrapati Bhavan of the country, this building is located on Parliament Street and is surrounded by Vijay Chowk, India Gate, National War Memorial, and other buildings.

Only the Lok Sabha is very large
The special thing about this building is its huge area, which is a total of 64500 square meters. It has 888 seats for the Lok Sabha while the Rajya Sabha has 384 seats. At present, there are 543 seats in the present Lok Sabha and only 250 seats in the Rajya Sabha, yet there is an option to increase the number of seats in the chamber of the Lok Sabha to 1272. The Chamber of the Lok Sabha has also been prepared for the joint session of the Parliament. That is, it does not have a central hall like the present Parliament House.

Attention to the rules of Vastu
The biggest attraction of this building is its triangular shape. The reason for this shape is its plot. This shape suits the sacred geometry of different religions. Along with this, the rules of Vastu Shastra of Indian culture were also taken care of, due to which they have been taken care of through the entrance, the size of the rooms and even while placing the idols of all the animals.

guard of the gates
The building has entrances from three sides from where dignitaries like the President, Speaker, Prime Minister can specially travel according to the occasion. On the other hand, for the general public and visitors visiting the Parliament House, entry will be given through Parliament Street, which will be near the Press Trust of India. Statues of many animals have been placed as protectors at all entrances, including elephants, horses, eagles, swans, crocodiles, etc., creating a different attraction.

That’s why special care has been taken to make it earthquake resistant. It has been argued about the present Parliament House that it is not strong enough to withstand the tremors of the earthquake.
