Not Uttar Pradesh, Discover The Real Location Of Web Series Panchayat's Phulera Village
A recent viral post on X (formerly Twitter) has reignited public interest in Mahodiya, the real-life village in Madhya Pradesh where the popular web series Panchayat was filmed. While the fictional village of "Phulera" is depicted as being in Uttar Pradesh, fans may be surprised to learn that the actual filming location is Mahodiya, situated in Sehore district.
X user Shubhendu, who amusingly mentions in his bio that he doesn't watch web series, took a detour to Mahodiya and shared a detailed photo thread from the now-famous locations featured in Panchayat, whose fourth season was recently released and is performing well on OTT platforms.

Among the highlights he posted were images of the iconic Panchayat office (bearing the real name "Gram Panchayat Mahodiya"), the now-famous road from the series, the village temple, library, water tank, and Pradhan Ji's house. One caption read: "This road can make people win or lose elections. Hopefully the new MLA will release money for the road to be built."
The Water Tank
—
No lovebirds spotted.
Also, I think Bhushan, his wife, Binod & Madhav did a stellar job cleaning the area around water tank before the elections.

He also shared a photo of the local hospital used in the show, humorously captioning it as "The Battle of Phulera was fought here." He even speculated, "Who knows, maybe Pradhan Ji got someone to fire the shot. He's a bit of a cunning type."
His post has since gone viral, crossing over 1 million views and attracting thousands of fan comments, further solidifying Mahodiya as a new tourist hotspot for fans of the series.
Asking for more images, one user asked Shubhendu, "Could you spot Vidhayak ka ghar, Sitaara, the horse, BumBahadur's pigeon farm, and Vikaas ka ghar, writing on the wall 'do bache meethi kheer, usse jyada bawaseer?'"
"Very nice... Missing the solar lamp (at Panchayat Office & Pradhan res) & washing area, though," wrote another user.

Ravi Mohan reveals he has been living in rented home for first time since split with Aarti Ravi; internet calls him out
Tamil actor Ravi Mohan has been constantly in the limelight since his split with wife Aarti Ravi. His public appearances with singer-spiritual healer Kenishaa Francis only added fuel to the fire. At a pre-release event for the film 3 BHK, starring Siddharth, R Sarathkumar, Devayani, Yogi Babu and Meetha Raghunath, he talked about his living situation and said he's living in a rented house for the 'first time'. (Also Read: Ravi Mohan, Kenishaa Francis throw party to celebrate her song release; Madhavan, Sudha Kongara attend. See inside pics) Ravi Mohan revealed previously that he left home after split with Aarti Ravi. 3 BHK is a coming-of-age family drama based on the short story by Aravindh Sachidanandam. The actor claimed that he could resonate with the film's subject, given how he's living in a rented home now. 'I've never lived in a rented house before. Since my birth, I've only stayed at homes that belonged to me,' said Ravi, adding, 'Now, I am living in a rented house and I can relate to the film. This film has been inspiring, and I want to live the rest of my life happily.' Once his statement began doing the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), people thought his statement reeked of privilege. One X user wrote, 'Why is he talking crap? You're an actor who got paid in crores, don't talk like you're a laborer who actually has struggles Livin in a rented house!' Another wrote, 'You are still married and having an ema so obviously you will be in a rented house. Stop pulling the sympathy card.' One pointed out, 'Also please tell us how much your rent sets you behind @iam_RaviMohan. Surely it will be in lakhs,' while another questioned, 'Living in rented house but can produce movies.' The separation from Aarti Ravi Ravi's statement comes after his separation from wife Aarti last year. In May, the actor wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post that Kenishaa was by his side when he left his home 'barefoot, in a night suit, stripped of wallet and dignity.' 'She is a beautiful companion, and I assure you this - she carries light,' he wrote. Ravi and Aarti married in 2009, and he announced he was parting ways with her in 2024.
