Our auto rickshaw driver told us about this place named
Panchakki. He told us that it is a water mill. The water which flows here comes
from a hill that is located around 11 km away from here.
We were surprised to hear what he told us. He took us to
Panchakki so that we believe what he said.

Again our rickshaw passed through narrow lanes and suddenly
it stopped. He pointed out to the left stating that the white structure is
Panchakki. We need to take ourselves a ticket at a cost of Rs.5 to enter.
The premises are painted white in color. I guess most of the
premises in Aurangabad are painted white in color.

Outside the structure there is a diagrammatic representation
of how the Panchakki used to function.
Panchakki which is located in Aurangabad displays Medieval
Indian Architecture. It used to get water from a place in the mountains.
I could spot a Dargah named Baba Shah Musafir, a garden, and
a mosque in the premises of Panchakki.

I sate below a tree and viewed the marvel created centuries
ago. Somehow I believe that our ancestors were far more superior to us in all
fields. They managed with the little they had and made marvelous structures.
Hats off to this place.
