High Court , Capitol complex, Chandigarh

The High Court is a linear block with the main facade towards the piazza. It has a rhythmic arcade created by a parasol-like roof, which shades the entire building.

Keeping in view the special dignity of the entrance for them through a high portico resting on three giant pylons painted in bright colors. Very much in the tradition of the Buland Darwaza of Fatehpur-Sikri, this grand entrance with its awesome scale is intended to manifest the Majesty of the Law to all who enter.
