Literally the "Constitution House", the building served as the seat of the Parliament of India from 1950 to 2023. It has been the symbol of India's democracy for decades, with its grand design, spacious interiors and symbolic artworks that celebrate the country's unity and heritage. Designed by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, the building was constructed between 1921 and 1927 as the seat of the Imperial Legislative Council of the British Raj. Based on the Ashoka Chakra, the circular building has 144 sandstone columns. The building is surrounded by large gardens and fenced off by sandstone railings modelled after the Great Stupa of Sanchi.
The Old Parliament House, officially known as the Samvidhan Sadan and formerly known as the Council House, was the seat of the Parliament of India between 26 January 1950 and 18 September 2023. It housed the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha respectively in India's bicameral parliament for nearly 73 years. Earlier it had served as the seat of the Imperial Legislative Council between 18 January 1927 and 15 August 1947, and the Constituent Assembly of India between 15 August 1947 and 26 January 1950.
