Nagpur Freemasons hold historic Lodge Meeting at Umling La, world's highest motorable road

1 2 3 Nagpur: In a remarkable blend of tradition and adventure, a 10-member team from KR Cama Lodge No.1366 SC, Nagpur, held a fully ritualistic Freemason Lodge meeting at Umling La (19,024 ft) — the world's highest motorable road — on June 24, marking Universal Brotherhood Day. Led by Gp Capt Digvijay Mohbe and Mehernosh Mavalwala, the team overcame extreme altitude and harsh conditions to conduct the solemn proceedings with full Masonic decorum. This pioneering feat symbolises the enduring spirit and commitment of Freemasons to uphold their ideals even in the most challenging environments. Adding a humanitarian touch, the team visited Mahabodhi Maitri Geriatric Home in Leh, where they spent time with senior citizens and extended charitable aid — embodying Masonic principles of brotherhood and service. "This was more than a meeting — it was a spiritual reaffirmation of our values," said Praveen Sahni. The effort stands as a proud milestone in Indian Freemasonry, bringing immense pride to the Nagpur Masonic community and setting a new benchmark of dedication and fraternity.
