'That's Why Pradhan Ji lost': Panchayat's Phulera Village In Muddy Mess, Video Goes Viral
The Mahodiya village, situated in the Sehore district of Madhya Pradesh, where the popular web series Panchayat was filmed, is in the news yet again. A video showing the dilapidated state of the village, filled with mud after heavy rain, has gone viral on social media, with fans questioning the government why proper amenities have not been provided. The area in front of the Panchayat Office, as depicted in the show, can be seen riddled with mud and water, while the road has only a narrow passage left for commuters to walk. "This is the condition of Madhya Pradesh's most famous village, which became nationally popular because of Panchayat, now imagine the condition of an average village in MP," wrote the user on X (formerly Twitter).

As the post went viral, a section of social media users questioned the authorities for not taking care of the village and its surroundings, while others had a humorous take on the situation. "Such things often make me sad and question authorities that despite so many schemes and policies, our rural villages are so underdeveloped," said one user while another added: "Honestly, the panchayat team should have used a part of their profits to at least give this village the basic requirements. It's coz of this village, that they were able to make the series." A third joked: "That's why Pradhan ji lost in this season." A fourth said: "Looks like any typical Indian village, nothing alarming here it is just muddy after the rains." That's why Pradhan ji lost in this season. — Dhananjay Singh (@Dhanji010) July 7, 2025 In the web series, Mahodiya was depicted as the fictional village of Phulera, located in Uttar Pradesh. Ever since the latest edition of the series aired, fans have been visiting the real village and sharing photos and videos of the popular areas of the village.

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. The Panchayat Office — Sachiv ji has left the office (and village) after scoring 97 percentile in CAT. 3/9 — Shubhendu (@BBTheorist) June 26, 2025 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. 5/9 — Shubhendu (@BBTheorist) June 26, 2025 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.
