The Old Parliament building of India was renamed as Samvidhan Sadan in September 2023. The renaming was proposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 19, 2023, the day that the new Parliament building was inaugurated. Modi said that the Old Parliament building is a symbol of India's democracy and that the new name reflects its importance. The Old Parliament building was built between 1921 and 1927 and served as the seat of the Indian Parliament until 2023. It is a circular building with a central dome and is considered to be one of the most important architectural landmarks in New Delhi. Samvidhan Sadan means "Temple of the Constitution" in Hindi. The new name is a fitting tribute to the building's role in the development of Indian democracy. |
