The New Parliament Building – A Symbol of Pride and Progressiveness for the New India
Step into a realm where architectural splendour meets the aspirations of a progressive India. In the heart of New Delhi, Tata Projects Limited (TPL) proudly presents the architectural marvel of the New Parliament Building. As a part of the Central Vista Redevelopment Project, this state-of-the-art edifice stands tall as a symbol of our rich cultural heritage and embodies the spirit of modern India.
Design and Architecture:
The triangular shape pays homage to the sacred geometry revered in various religious scriptures while maximizing space utilization. The building showcases three national symbols as its central themes: the Lotus, Peacock, and Banyan Tree. The walls of the Ceremonial Foyers, such as the Gyan Mandap, Sankalp Mandap, and Kartavya Mandap, wear exquisite brass artworks. The Constitutional Hall, featuring the Samudramanthan and People’s Wall, beautifully encapsulates the Indian cosmological worldview and the spirit of an Atmanirbhar Bharat. The three India Galleries—ShilpDeergha, SthapatyaDeergha, and Sangeet Deergha are where the richness of our art, culture, and music takes centre stage.
Key Milestones and Challenges:
From the foundation stone ceremony to the grand inauguration, the journey of the New Parliament Building has been one of determination and triumph. Overcoming logistical, safety, and environmental challenges, the construction of this architectural marvel stands as a testament to our unwavering spirit.
