Sansad Bhavan — the Parliament House in New Delhi — view 2

Parliament House, or Sansad Bhavan, is a circular edifice designed by British architect Edwin Lutyens and completed in 1927, serving as the seat of India's Parliament. Its grand colonnades of sandstone complement the adjoining lawns and gardens, while the assembly chambers inside reflect the country's democratic ideals. Visiting is more than just a glimpse of political activity; guided tours are available that delve into the history of legislation and architecture. Best visited during winter months for pleasant weather, the structure is near the National Museum and the India Gate, both significant in their own right. The intricate patterns on the columns are particularly striking, marking Lutyens' blend of Indian and European influences.
