Sansad Bhavan

The Parliament of India is the supreme legislative body of the Republic of India. The Parliament is composed of the President of India and the houses. It is bicameral with two houses: the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and the Lok Sabha (House of the People).^[1]The Rajya Sabha is also known as the Upper house and the Lok Sabha is known as the lower house. But this does not mean that Lok Sabha is less powerful than Rajya Sabha. In fact,the Lok Sabha is much more powerful than the Rajya Sabha.
