In the city of Ahmedabad, there were two lodges both existing under the Scottish Constitution, viz, Lodge Salem No. 563 and Lodge Hope & Sincerity No. 634. As the city was expanding, some members evinced that there was great enthusiasm prevailing and they felt the necessity for a third Lodge so that the enthusiasm in the new entrants to the craft may not be jeopardised by not securing an accession to senior ranks in the craft. Just when this proposal was being considered, The Most Worshipful Grand Master of U.S.F.I.C. Most Wor. Bro. late Major Gen.H. H. Dr. Sir Syed Raza Ali Khan, the Nawab of Rampur, with the Grand Lodge office-bearers visited Ahmedabad for the Election Communication of Grand Lodge of United Scottish Freemasonary of India & Ceylon.
