Goshamahal Baradari, Royal palace in Goshamahal, Hyderabad, India
The Goshamahal Baradari features massive balustrades, detailed Islamic architectural elements, and extensive interior spaces across multiple floors.
Built in 1682 during the Qutb Shahi dynasty, the palace later became the southern headquarters for Mughal forces under Shah Alam during Aurangzeb's conquest.
The palace name derives from 'gosha', referring to women in purdah, reflecting the social practices of the Qutb Shahi period in Hyderabad.
Nine Masonic lodges and chapters operate within the building, which received an elevator installation in the east wing during 2015.
The structure holds the distinction of being India's oldest active Masonic lodge since 1933, following its donation by the Nizam of Hyderabad in 1872.
