How does Freemasonry in India accommodate different faiths?
Accommodating candidates of diverse religious faiths in Indian lodges rests on the principle that membership is open to anyone of good moral character who believes in a Supreme Being, regardless of their specific faith. As the Grand Lodge of India states, candidates take their obligations on the Volume of the Sacred Law sacred to their own personal faith, while the scriptures of all major religions practiced in India are displayed open on the altar simultaneously during lodge proceedings to reflect the institution's universal character.

What do the three Great Lights signify?
The three Great Lights consist of the Volume of the Sacred Law, the Square, and the Compasses. As Carl H. Claudy explains, the Volume of the Sacred Law is not restricted to any single religious tradition or text, but represents the divine spiritual truth accessible to candidates of every faith. The United Grand Lodge of England's Basic Principles for Grand Lodge Recognition similarly emphasize that the Volume of the Sacred Law, displayed open alongside the Square and Compasses, is an essential requirement for regular lodge work, serving as the chief light among the three.
