The architecture of the Parliament house draws its inspiration from the Ashoka Chakra of the National flag, and as such is circular in shape.

It is a 43m long Minaret with a 14m diameter at the base and is situated in the South Delhi District. The tower has 5 storeys with intricately crafted spiral-shaped 379 steps.
What’s interesting to note is that the 5 storeys were not constructed at once. In fact, the construction was initiated by Qitub-ud-Din Aibak who only created the basement which was taken over by his successor, Iltutmish, who then built the next three storeys.
Qutub Minar construction was finished by Firoz Shah Tuglak who built the last two storeys. Since the construction happened over the span of various years and under the reign of different rulers, one can spot the architectural differences.

Grouped in three, the petals form a nine-sided circular shaped structure. The Canadian architect, Fariborz Sahba, has conceptualized the shrine.

It is the first temple in the National Capital to use solar power. It looks spectacular in the evening when it is floodlit.
