Pilibhit, Historical city in Uttar Pradesh, India
Pilibhit sits at 172 meters above sea level near the Indo-Nepal border, with numerous rivers flowing through its surrounding agricultural plains.
The city gained prominence during the 18th century when Hafiz Rahmat Khan established it and constructed a central mosque that remains standing today.
The population of 175,000 residents represents multiple religious communities, celebrating their traditions through seasonal festivals and local markets.
