If you want to visit the LeCorbusier government buildings then the tourist information is an essantial place to visit. At 10 AM, 12 and 3PM you can sign up there for a free tour. This will enable you to look at the assembley and the other buildings in the Capitol Complex. You can take pictures from outside but not from inside. It is the highlight of our India trip :)
