Travel To The Real Phulera: Exploring The Village Where Panchayat Was Actually Shot
Last Updated:
Contrary to popular belief, Panchayat series was not shot in Rajasthan. Read on to find the real location of the famous Phulera village.
The beloved web series Panchayat has captivated audiences with its charming portrayal of rural life, sparking curiosity about its filming locations. Fans often wonder if the show was shot in Rajasthan's Phulera. However, the answer is more interesting. So, where exactly did the magic of Phulera unfold? Let's find out here.
Produced by The Viral Fever (TVF) and streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Panchayat has captured hearts with its authentic storytelling. The series follows the journey of an engineering graduate who takes up a government job in the remote village of Phulera. With its realistic portrayal of rural life, engaging narrative, and relatable characters, Panchayat has become a favourite among audiences. But have you ever wondered where this picturesque village of Phulera is actually located?
Contrary to popular belief, Panchayat wasn't filmed in Rajasthan's Phulera. Instead, the production team discovered a hidden gem in Madhya Pradesh's Sehore district, where a quaint village named Phulera served as the perfect rural backdrop. The team carefully chose this location to capture the authentic essence of village life, and the scenic beauty of the village added to the show's charm. With meticulous attention to detail, the cast and crew brought the fictional Phulera to life, making it an integral part of the series.
The confusion with Rajasthan's Phulera is understandable, given its prominence as a railway junction near Jaipur. However, this Phulera has no connection to the series. The real magic lies in the Madhya Pradesh village that was carefully chosen for its authentic rural charm.
Panchayat's success can be attributed to its storytelling and immersive locations, which transport viewers to the heart of rural India, making the show a relatable and engaging watch. The series boasts a talented ensemble cast, including Jitendra Kumar as the endearing Abhishek Tripathi, Neena Gupta as the sassy Manju Devi, and Raghubir Yadav as the quirky Brij Bhushan Dubey.
The cast is further strengthened by Chandan Roy as Vikas, Faisal Malik as Prahladchand Pandey, Sanvikaa as Rinki, and Durgesh Kumar as Bhushan, with Pankaj Jha delivering a compelling performance as the cunning MLA.

Packed with wry observations on everyday life and human behaviour in the hinterland and memorable characters, the Amazon Prime Video series has entered its fourth season, an incredible feat in itself. Actor Neena Gupta credits the writing of Chandan Kumar and the work put in by director Deepak Kumar Mishra. 'Season after season, they do something special. I wait for the script.
