Two centuries of Masonic brotherhood in Hyderabad and Secunderabad
St. John's Lodge No. 434 E.C. is a historic English Constitution Masonic Lodge in Secunderabad, serving the wider Hyderabad community since 1822. Working under the District Grand Lodge of Madras, the Lodge is part of the United Grand Lodge of England tradition, one of the world's most established Masonic traditions.
At St. John's Freemasons Hall and Masonic Temple, members develop through Masonic ritual, education, fellowship, and shared service. The Lodge honours the enduring principles of Freemasonry while welcoming men of good character from Hyderabad, Secunderabad, and beyond.
What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is a worldwide fraternal tradition that encourages good character, self knowledge, charitable service, and fellowship. It is non religious and non political, using enduring symbols, allegory, and ceremony to explore moral values and personal responsibility.
Community, Charity & Service
Charity is central to Freemasonry and to the work of St. John's Lodge No. 434 E.C. in Secunderabad. Our members support local community initiatives, education and youth programmes, relief for people in need, and Masonic charitable foundations across Hyderabad and beyond.
Through organised charitable events and individual acts of kindness, the Lodge seeks to create practical, lasting benefit for people and communities in Hyderabad.
