Grand Conclave in India
The Grand Conclave in India serves as the sovereign governing body for the Order of the Secret Monitor across India, where it is headed by the Grand Supreme Ruler, as the Grand Conclave in India records. The sovereign body was constituted and consecrated at Chennai on 14 December 2013, following a petition to the Most Worthy Grand Supreme Ruler to establish an independent Indian authority. Prior to its formation, the Order had operated in India for over 124 years under the jurisdiction of the Grand Conclave of the British Isles.
In earlier Masonic history across other degrees and orders, attempts to form regional governing bodies in India were occasionally proposed but delayed; for instance, in the 1840s a general council was suggested for the Rose Croix degree in Southern India under the English Supreme Council, though the degree instead fell into abeyance until reconstituted via local chapters in 1869 1. The Grand Conclave in India now stands fully independent as the sole sovereign authority for the Secret Monitor within its jurisdiction.
