New Parliament Building Inauguration: Know full-day schedule, time-table, when, where and how to watch live streaming on AajTak, IndiaToday

The inauguration of the new Parliament building is set to witness dignitaries, religious leaders and eminent personalities. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate the new Parliament building on Sunday. The new Parliament building inauguration ceremony will begin with an early morning havan and a multi-religion prayer followed by a formal opening in the Lok Sabha by Prime Minister Modi.

Twenty opposition parties, including the Congress, Left, TMC, SP and AAP, have come together and announced their decision to boycott the inauguration of the new building by the prime minister, saying they find no value in a new building when the "soul of democracy has been sucked out".

The new complex will also have a grand Constitution Hall to showcase India's democratic heritage, a lounge for members of Parliament, a library, multiple committee rooms, dining areas and ample parking space.

The inauguration's opening ceremony is planned to be a day-long event divided into two sections.

The havan will be held outside the new Parliament building at 7 a.m., where the ceremonial sceptre Sengol will be handed over to Modi by the Shaivite order's senior priests, PTI quoted officials as saying.

The pujas will continue till 9 a.m., after which the inauguration ceremony is scheduled to commence around noon.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Deputy Chairman Hariwansh, and a few other high officials are likely to attend the morning pujas, according to ANI.
