Initially, every element of the iconic building was intended to be in perfect harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the project's beginning in unity was replaced by discord when the visionary state government that commissioned it was ousted and succeeded by one that failed to appreciate its significance.
