The most interesting thing in the Parliament!

Went to see the Parliament today with college mates. Found the vaastu influence on the architecture of the building quite interesting. Still not sure, whether it is true, or not, but the concept of the rising sun on the ceiling of the Lok Sabha and the eye with a full moon on the ceiling in the Rajya Sabha fascinating.
The person who was showing us around said that the symbols meant the Lok Sabha has financial power and the Rajya Sabha does not; it does not have 'light' of its own.
My interpretation, of the rising sun and the eye with a full moon in it, is quite different.
The Lok Sabha is known as the House of Commons. It consists of members of the Parliament who are elected by the people. The rising sun symbolizes energy and power of change. It represents a new day. The Lok Sabha being represented by the choice of the public and having financial power, means it has the power to develop the country and help the common human being.
The Rajya Sabha being the House of Royals has greater power and responsibility. It reflects the ideas of the Lok Sabha. That is why its ceiling has an eye with a full moon in it. The eye reflects light and can not see without light; the full moon shows complete reflection of sunlight. It means the Rajya Sabha will be in 'darkness' without the Lok Sabha's 'light'. It is supposed to work in the direction that the commons want.
That is what I felt when I saw the rising sun and the eye with a full moon in it.
