The Palace of Assembly is one of Le Corbusier's masterpieces within the Capitol Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visitors can admire its sculptural concrete forms, including the iconic cooling tower and the dramatic entrance portico. The building houses the Punjab and Haryana legislative chambers, but the exterior is the main draw for architecture enthusiasts. The interplay of light and shadow on the raw concrete surfaces creates a dynamic experience, and the surrounding plaza offers sweeping views of the Shivalik Hills.
