Craft Masonry in India was introduced under the English Constitution following a deputation granted to George Pomfret in 1728. The earliest lodge, East India Arms (No. 72), was constituted at Calcutta in 1730 by officers of the East India Company at Fort William, as an article on the Regional Grand Lodge of Southern India's website notes. Early lodges were established primarily by British merchants, soldiers, and sailors, including military bodies like Gibraltar Lodge attached to the 39th Foot.
