OVERVIEW
Badi kothi was built near the bank of River Ganga, earlier more than 400 years ago. Peru mal was a zamindar and a banker who used to live in kothi. Whoever didn’t pay tax or loan, he used to put the defaulters in jail which is in the property.

Printing press was used for writing articles about the Independence of India.
The facade of the kothi is made of sandstone, intricately carved by craftsman of Rajasthan. Steps lead up to the raised ground room where a fountain stands and to the left large hall which acted as an office for tax collection. Collectors sat at Gaddis at the window while tax payers stood down below, out on the road. A small chamber opening off the hall, acted as a prison for defaulters.
