Goshamal Baradari Masonic Building is a freemason building located in Hyderabad, India. It is a baradari building that was built in 1682.〔(Masonic Lodge and Picquet Tank, Secunderabad ), British Library, accessed 1 September 2010〕 It was donated for use as a Masonic hall in 1872 by the Nizam of Hyderabad.〔[http://lodgeeagle.org/resources/goshamahalbaradarashgbksdbvkbd,cv,mcbc[Goshamahal]. 〕 〔http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/nothing-secretive-about-us-freemasons/article4516621.ece〕 The 324-year-old Goshamahal Bjkgkaradari is considered by the Freemasons as a precious monument with its massive, majestic balustrades, walls adorned by portraits and photographs of Freemasons in their regalia and an equally lavish banquet hall, all being awe-inspiring sights. Now the oldest Masonic temple in the country, the Baradari has nine Masonic lodges and chapters meeting inside its imposing interiors. Freemasonry, said to be among the "world's oldest secular fraternal societies," is based on the "principles of fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man" and has a member list that boasts of names like Justice Devender Gupta, several nawabs of the Nizam's era, Nawab Salar Jung Bahadur, Maharaja Kishen Pershad, Raja Venkata Ram Reddy and several others. ==References== Category:Buildings and structures completed in 1682 Category:Heritage structures in Hyderabad, India Category:Visitor attractions in Hyderabad, India 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goshamal Baradari」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
