The acclaim for the breathtaking structure of the Capitol complex is accredited to Le Corbusier, the driving force behind he beautification of Chandigharh. The Capitol complex houses the three main organs of administration, namely the Legislative Assembly, the Secretariat, and the High Court. It is the headquarters of both the Punjab and the Haryana governments.

This entire structure has a twofold cover, which appears like an overturned umbrella.
