Panchakki, Water mill in Sambhajinagar district, India
The Panchakki complex includes a water mill, mosque, ministerial residence, and garden near Mahmud Darvaza, with an underground water conduit from a distant well.
Built around 1695 by Turktaz Khan, the mill utilized mountain spring water to generate energy for grinding grain for pilgrims and garrison troops.
The dargah complex contains the tomb of Sufi saint Baba Shah Musafir and a reopened library holding 2,500 manuscripts covering various subjects.
The site functions as headquarters for Maharashtra's Waqf board and maintains regular visiting hours with guides available to explain the hydraulic mechanisms.
An underground conduit system stretches eight kilometers to channel water into the reservoir, powering the mill through gravitational force.
