Originally called the House of Parliament, it was designed by the British architects Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker in 1912 as part of their wider mandate to construct a new administrative capital city for British India. The 92-year-old Parliament House, also known as Sansad Bhavan, is home to the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha and one of the most impressive buildings in Delhi. It is said that the circular structure of the 11th-century Chausath Yogini Temple inspired the design of the building. Now, this complex is set for a facelift.
