Panwah is located 15 km west of Kuraoli. 1 km east of Panwah is a mound where Ochre Coloured Pottery culture artifacts have been found. The soil in this area is hard and calcareous. To the south is a large depression that used to be a lake. It dried up after a canal was constructed, interrupting the drainage path that used to feed the lake.[2]: 301 

Archaeology

Several pottery fragments associated with the Ochre Coloured Pottery culture have been found at the mound near Panwah. They were strewn over a large area, and not very many were found.
