Did you know Sachiv Ji’s iconic pink panchayat office is actually a real building—and it’s way more modern in real life? Let’s dive into some behind-the-scenes facts that will surprise even hardcore Panchayat fans.
From Reel to Real: Panchayat Is Filmed in Mahodiya Village, Not Phulera
While Phulera may be a fictional village on-screen, the soul of Panchayat lies in Mahodiya—located in Madhya Pradesh’s Sehore district. That’s where the camera crews, halogens, and tripods rolled in earlier this year, kicking off the shoot for Season 4 back in March.
What’s wild is that Mahodiya isn’t just a backdrop—it’s an actual, functioning village. And a lot of what you see in the show exists for real… just not exactly how it’s shown.
Real Panchayat Office Rented for Just ₹500 a Day!

Yes, you read that right. TVF’s production team rented the real gram panchayat office in Mahodiya for only ₹500 per day. That pink-walled office where Sachiv Ji (played by Jitendra Kumar) handles his daily drama? It’s not just a film set. That’s the actual guest room of the Mahodiya panchayat building.
So next time you see those dusty files and broken chairs on-screen—just know, it’s movie magic. In reality, the space is pretty well-kept.
Modern Infra Behind the “Underdeveloped” Look
One of the smartest tricks the show pulls is making modern places look outdated. That same pink building shown under dull lighting and rustic tones is actually well-equipped with basic modern infrastructure.

Think electricity, fan, seating—it’s not as raw as it seems on-screen. The team deliberately under-lit scenes to make things look more authentic and grassroots.
The Martyr Memorial Library? That’s 100% Real
Remember the emotional scenes around the martyr Rahul Pandey library in Season 3? That wasn’t just a prop. The production team actually built that library after Season 1 as a tribute—and it’s now a permanent part of the premises.
It’s a thoughtful move that blends fiction with real-life community impact.

That Handpump Near the Office? Totally Fake
While some parts are very real, others were just temporary. For instance, the handpump used often by Sachiv Ji near the office? That was a prop installed for the shoot and taken down afterward.
So if you’re planning a visit hoping to reenact those scenes—sorry, the pump’s gone!
Mahodiya Goes Quiet Again… Until Season 5?

With Panchayat Season 4 wrapped up, Mahodiya is back to its usual village rhythm. The camera crews have left, and the peaceful vibe has returned.
But give it some time—once the next season is greenlit, the chaos, lights, and action will return, bringing Phulera back to life once again.

Final Thoughts
Panchayat isn’t just a show—it’s a rare example of storytelling that blends realism with humor and heart. And knowing how much of it is grounded in an actual village, with real places and real stories? That just makes it more special.
