Dear Brethren,
It gives me immense pleasure to extend my warmest greetings on behalf of the Organising Committee of Lodge Minchin No. 2710 EC, as we prepare to host the Annual Investiture Meeting of the District Grand Lodge of Madras (EC) in the historic city of Trivandrum in February 2026.
To us, this is not about hosting an event—but laying a platform for the celebration of Masonic unity, tradition, and continuity. We are deeply honoured to have been entrusted with the responsibility of organising one of the most prestigious and ceremonial occasions in the District calendar. It is a privilege we accept with humility, commitment, and a strong sense of fraternal duty.
The Organising Committee, comprising dedicated brethren from Lodge Minchin, has worked tirelessly to ensure that every element of the event is planned with care and executed with precision. From ceremonial arrangements and logistics to hospitality and aesthetics, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to offer a truly memorable and befitting experience to all attendees.
We are particularly delighted that this grand meeting will be held in Trivandrum—a city known not only for its cultural richness and timeless charm but also for its longstanding contribution to Freemasonry in southern India. It is our hope that this meeting will provide a meaningful opportunity for fellowship, reflection, and renewed enthusiasm in the pursuit of Masonic ideals.
To the brethren being invested and honoured at this meeting, I offer my sincere congratulations. Your recognition is a testament to your service, and we trust you will carry your new responsibilities with distinction. To all visiting brethren—your presence is a source of great joy and encouragement to us, and we assure you of our warmest welcome.
We look forward to receiving you in Trivandrum, and to sharing with you a celebration that reflects the very best of our Masonic tradition.
