EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the essence of the Masonic Lodge in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, India during the 1930s. The image, titled 'Rock of Gwalior Masonic Lodge, Jhansi,' showcases a gathering of British and Indian men dressed in their formal Masonic regalia. The room is adorned with a beautifully tiled floor, with intricate designs and geometric patterns, adding an air of sophistication and grandeur to the setting. The men, seated on plush cushions and kneelers, are dressed in their Masonic costumes, which include aprons, sashes, and gloves. Their hands are placed palm-to-palm, symbolizing unity and brotherhood. Each man holds a book, signifying the importance of knowledge and learning in the Masonic order. The Masonic symbols, such as the compass and square, are prominently displayed on the aprons and the walls of the lodge. The British colonial influence is evident in the photograph, with the men wearing European-style suits and hats, and the use of English language in the lodge's name. However, the inclusion of Indian men in the photograph highlights the multicultural nature of the Masonic order during the colonial era. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the social and cultural practices of the time. It also serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity of the Masonic tradition in India during the British colonial period.
