Think Panchayat was shot in a dusty little village in Uttar Pradesh ? Think again! The now-iconic "Phulera" is actually Mahodiya, a real-life village in Madhya Pradesh 's Sehore district , and thanks to a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), fans are flocking to find out more.It all started when a user named Shubhendu, who cheekily claims he doesn't even watch web series, took a detour to Mahodiya and dropped a photo thread that instantly lit up the internet. His snaps from the real Panchayat office (which still proudly says 'Gram Panchayat Mahodiya'), that unforgettable bumpy road, the village temple, library, and even Pradhan Ji's house, sent fans into a frenzy.'This road can make people win or lose elections,' he wrote, adding, 'Hopefully, the new MLA releases funds to fix it.' Another photo of the hospital was jokingly captioned: 'The Battle of Phulera was fought here,' followed by a wild theory, 'Maybe Pradhan Ji got someone to fire the shot. He's a bit cunning!'The post has already crossed 1 million views, turning Mahodiya into a fan pilgrimage spot. People flooded the thread with comments like, 'Did you find Vidhayak ka ghar, Sitara, the horse, or BumBahadur's pigeon farm?' and 'What about the famous wall with 'do bache meethi kheer...'?'With Season 4 riding high on OTT charts, Mahodiya might just become the next tourist sensation — no fancy sets, just real village charm and a whole lot of Panchayat feels.
