Location: Close to Rajpath
The Parliament of India is also known as the Sansad bhawan and it is
basically bicameral in nature. The Parliament house is segmented into
two houses - Lok Sabha and the second one is Rajya Sabha. There are in
total 552 members in the house that are directly elected. The upper
house is also known as the Rajya Sabha and the lower house is known as
the Lok Sabha. Parliament house is the final form of Baker's conception,
an odd circular form in a predominantly orthogonal planning scheme.
This edifice is the brainchild of Herbert Baker and was much criticized
in comparison with Lutyens creations. In order to obtain a visitor’s
pass to Sansad Bhawan, Indian nationals should apply to the Parliament
Secretariat. Foreign nationals should apply through their embassies or
high commissions.
