It also states that the President can summon a session of Parliament.Our Parliament House (also called Sansad Bhavan) is located in New Delhi. This was designed by Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker. In India, our Parliament meets for three sessions in a year. Starting with the Budget session which is the longest and held towards the beginning of the year.
