The capitol complex and its adjoining precincts constitute the monumental core of Naya Raipur, the capital city of Chhattisgarh.

Structured most prominently by the bi-axial symmetry of a monumental axis that emanates from the capitol complex, the urban design embraces the City Beautiful principles of grand boulevards and monumental buildings to convey the centrality of the democratically elected government in power.

The monumental axis, structures a democratic landscape constituting cultural institutions in the southern side, and offices and the central business district in the northern side.
