Pili Kothi
A Central Landmark: Pili Kothi (literally, Yellow Mansion) is a prominent colonial-era bungalow or administrative building located in the heart of the city's old Civil Lines area. While its exact function has changed over time—possibly serving as a residential quarters, administrative office, or p olice post—its distinctive yellow color and central location near the Railway Station and other key government buildings make it a crucial landmark in Moradabad. It often stands as a reminder of the city's historical administrative layout. (Summary for 400 words):
