Description

The new Indian Parliament building is an architectural marvel that embodies the nation's ethos. It was inaugurated on May 28 and is adorned with elaborate statues and patterns inspired by ancient sculptures, symbolizing the country's rich cultural past.

Ancient Sculptures Inspired

Statues inspired by antique sculptures take the stage at the six doorways of the new Parliament building. These majestic figures have significant historical and cultural significance, capturing the nation's imagination. Each door displays one-of-a-kind inspirations that inspire amazement and appreciation.

The Magnificent Gaj Dwar

One of the gates, the Gaj Dwar, is adorned with towering stone elephants that pay reverence to the statues at the 9th-century Madhukeshwara temple in Banavasi, Karnataka. These magnificent statues stand tall, representing strength and grace.

The Glorious Ashwa Dwar

Horse statues adorn the Ashwa Dwar entryway, evocative of the 13th century sculptures at the Sun temple in Odisha. These graceful representations reflect the force and beauty associated with horses.

Dwarves Who Were Inspired

The Shardula, Hamsa, and Makara dwars display figures inspired by famous sculptures from various parts of India. These elaborate constructions are inspired by the Gujri Mahal in Gwalior, the Vijay Vithala temple in Hampi, and the Hoysaleswara temple in Karnataka. Each sculpture has its unique cultural significance and adds to the new Parliament building's magnificence.

The Glorious Garuda Dwar

The final entrance, the Garuda dwar, displays statues of Vishnu's horse (vahana). These sculptures are inspired by a Nayaka era sculpture from Tamil Nadu from the 18th century CE. The Garuda dwar oozes devotion and spirituality.

Foucault's Pendulum's Symbolism

The Foucault's Pendulum gently hangs from a big skylight within the triangular ceiling of the Constitution Hall. This captivating installation represents the earth's rotation and the harmony between India and the universe. It serves as a reminder of how intertwined the world is.

Interiors Of The Lotus And Peacock

The interior design of India's upper house, the Rajya Sabha, is inspired by the lotus, the country's national flower. Within the chamber, this symbolic motif produces a quiet and introspective mood. The interior of the Lok Sabha, India's lower house, on the other hand, is inspired by the peacock, the country's national bird. The bright colors and elaborate patterns exude pride and enthusiasm.

Cultural Icons And Ceremonial Foyers

Three ceremonial foyers in the new Parliament building include stunning brass images. These stunning sculptures feature historic individuals such as Mahatma Gandhi, Chanakya, Gargi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, B.R. Ambedkar, and the Chariot Wheel from Konark's Sun Temple. They provide witness to the rich cultural legacy and achievements of these distinguished persons to the nation.
