Goshamahal Bardri Masonic Commiunity

The office bearers informed that the Goshamahal Baradari Building was built in 1684 by Sultan Abdul Hassan, the last King of Qutub Shahi Dynasty. Emperor Aurangazeb installed his son, Shah Alam, in this building when he sent him to complete the conquest of Southern India. For over two years, this building was the headquarters of the Moghuls in the Deccan. Presently there are only two monuments of the Deccani Style of Architecture besides this building and they are Charminar and Quli Qutub Shahi Tombs. Freemasons of the twin cities spend considerable amounts on the upkeep of this historic building and which is why it is still an imposing monument.
