Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated the new seat of the Indian Parliament. The new hexagonal edifice is one of the major projects implemented by Narendra Modi.

It adjoins the one built in colonial times by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, whom it will now replace. The inauguration of the new building took place on the birthday of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, the mentor of the assassin of the country's independence hero, Mahatma Gandhi.
