Solution

The Rajya Sabha, also known as the Council of States, is the Upper House of the Indian Parliament. Unlike the Lok Sabha, it is not directly elected by the public but indirectly elected by the members of the State Legislative Assemblies. Members of the Rajya Sabha serve staggered six-year terms, ensuring that all members do not complete their terms at the same time, providing continuity in the legislative process.
