FAQs On Mul Bhandara

Burhanpur, Madhya Pradesh, India
History of Mul Bhandara: Mul Bhandara is the primary source of the legendary Kundi Bhandara (or Khuni Bhandara) water management system of Burhanpur. Constructed in 1615 by Abdul Rahim Khankhana, the Governor under Emperor Akbar, this system is a marvel of Persian hydraulic engineering. Mul Bhandara is the first collection point where groundwater from the Satpura hills is trapped and directed into underground tunnels. The system was designed to provide pure mineral water to the city and its military garrisons. It consists of a network of 101 vertical shafts (kundis) connected by a subterranean gallery. This allowed the water to flow naturally by gravity for over 5 kilometers. Even after 400 years, the system is functional and supplies water to parts of the city. The engineering is so precise that the water remains naturally purified by ultraviolet rays entering through the shafts. It is currently on the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage status. Exploring this site provides a deep look into the scientific advancement of the Mughal era, proving that they were not just great builders of palaces, but also master civil engineers.
