New Parliament vs The Old, National Capital's Iconic Building For 96 Years
The current parliament building, which has been Delhi's most iconic building for 96 years, will make way for new parliament with large halls fitted with modern communications tech. The interior of the new parliament building - to be inaugurated by PM Modi - has three national symbols - the lotus, the peacock and the banyan tree - as its themes. The triangular-shaped four-storey parliament building has a built-up area of 64,500 sqm. The building has three main gates - Gyan Dwar, Shakti Dwar, and Karma Dwar.
