PM Modi dedicated the new parliament building to the country, accompanied by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla...
Digital Desk: The historic 'Sengol' was installed at the new parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of its opening today. He also performed pooja and inaugurated the new building's plaque, flanked by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Adheenam seers. Following that, an interfaith prayer was held.
Today, the Prime Minister will dedicate the new parliament building. Around 60 religious leaders have been invited to the gathering as well. The new parliament building is larger than the current one, which was built in 1927. The new Parliament building "reflects India's diverse culture" with carpets from Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh, bamboo flooring from Tripura and stone sculptures from Rajasthan.
Here are some Pictures from the ceremony:
The interior is themed around three national symbols: the lotus, the peacock, and the banyan tree. The four-storey, triangular-shaped parliament building has a built-up area of 64,500 sqm. Gyan Dwar, Shakti Dwar, and Karma Dwar are the three primary entrances of the structure.
The current parliament building was built in 1927, making it approximately a century old.
Tata Projects Ltd. developed the new parliament building, which has a majestic constitution hall to display India's democratic legacy, a lounge for MPs, a library, various committee rooms, dining places and enough parking space.
While 25 parties have confirmed their participation, numerous opposition parties, including Congress, have declared a boycott.
Adding more to the story, Officials at the Allahabad Museum, which has preserved the iconic 'Sengol' for seven decades, said the move to the new Parliament building in the national capital is a source of pride for them as well as Prayagraj citizens. The 'Sengol,' a Chola-era spectre fashioned of silver with a gold coat, is a symbol of the British surrender in 1947. It was placed today beside the Lok Sabha Speaker's chair.
