The newly adorned Parliament House is ready to welcome its first government, anticipating the hustle and bustle of legislative activities.

Our new Parliament House is decked up to receive its maiden government.

The long and adorned corridors and assembly is to get all the share of busyness soon.

The proposal of bills, the arguments, the passing of bills or rejections all are waiting inside the present stillness.

The three symbols(banyan, peacock, lotus) used in the house are not mere symbols. They have high regards in our culture. These nature forces imbibe inner meanings in themselves. The banyan tree is believed to have the wisdom of nature.

The peacock is not just an epitome of beauty, it also saves from predators. The lotus which can have a maximum of thousand petals. It symbolizes our huge human resource. And the way we all stay connected to a single stem of humanity.

The six doors leading to the building each having a reason for them being chosen gives the parliament building further depth and responsibility for the reason of its existence.

A quick synopsis of them are as follows:

Gaja Dwar– The name is the Sanskrit word for elephant. It is not only for the happiness and prosperity but also symbolizes the infinite strength a common man’s voice has.

Hamsa Dwar– Named after the swan. Swans are believed to have great spiritual knowledge to choose the right path amongst a hazy and difficult situation.

Shardula Dwar– It features the mythical creature with the lion’s body and head of various animals. A symbol for the power of country people.

Garuda Dwar– Garuda which means eagle is regarded as king of birds. It stresses upon the Parliament’s embodiment of the citizens’ power and duties towards them.

Makar Dwar-Associated with the protectors, this entrance pays homage to the legendary sea creature often witnessed in Hindu and Buddhist monuments.

Ashwa Dwar– The Sanskrit word for horse, this door represents courage and swiftness .

The discussion of these doors have the simple logic of how the whole nation’s participation shapes the nation’s present and future. Otherwise the whole process of election would be a waste.

The exit poll predictions are filling up the newspaper pages and the whole nation is looking forward to which political party shall make its way to the Parliament.

The international media too is not less interested in the world’s largest democratic country’s election results.

We all want the best to get chosen to have a better present and probably a safe and sound future.
