House of Parliament

  The House of Parliament, it was designed by the British architect Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker in 1912-1913 and construction began in 1921. The opening ceremony of the Parliament House, then called the Central Legislative Assembly, was performed on 18 January 1927 by Lord Irwin, the then Viceroy of India. The third session of Central Legislative Assembly was held in this house on 19 January 1927. The Central Hall of the Parliament is designed to be circular in shape. The dome is 91.50 ft. (29.87 metres) in diameter and is believed that it is one of the most magnificent domes in the world. The Central Hall is a place of historical importance in India for two reasons: The transfer of colonial power to the Provisional Government under Nehru in 1947 and the framing of the Constitution by the Constituent Assembly took place in this very hall. At present, the Central Hall is used for holding Joint Sittings of the two Houses. At the commencement of the first session after each General Election to Lok Sabha and at the commencement of the first session of each year, the President addresses both the Houses of Parliament assembled together in the Central Hall. When the Houses are in session, the Central Hall is used by Members for informal discussions among themselves. Central Hall is also used for special occasions when the Members of Parliament are addressed by distinguished Heads of States of other countries.The Parliament Museum, opened in 2006, stands next to the Parliament House.

Gurudwara Shish Ganj Sahib

Gurudwara Sis Shish Ganj Sahib is one of the oldest and historical Gurudwaras in Delhi. Located in Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi, the Sis Ganj Gurudwara was first established in the year 1783 to remember the persecution site of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji. Gurudwara Sis Ganj drives it name from “sis” meaning head which connote the fact about the demises of Shri Tegh Bahadur.
