    Solution

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new Parliament building on 28th May 2023. The Prime Minister prostrated before the "Sengol" and sought blessings from high priests of various adheenams in Tamil Nadu with the holy sceptre in hand. The new parliament building is part of the government's ambitious project to develop the Central Vista complex in capital Delhi which replaces colonial-era buildings. Built in front of the old parliament, the new four-storey building - built at an estimated cost of 9.7bn rupees ($117.1m, £94.2m) - has increased seating capacity. The Lok Sabha chamber, which will seat the lower house of the parliament, is designed in the likeness of a peacock, India's national bird. The Rajya Sabha chamber, which will seat the upper house, is designed to resemble the lotus, India's national flower, Lotus. The current parliament building is expected to be converted into a museum.
