Explanation:
The 'Araghatta' (also known as 'rehat' or Persian wheel) was an ancient Indian irrigation device. It typically consisted of a large wheel with a series of earthen pots or buckets attached to its rim or spokes. As the wheel rotated, these pots would dip into a water source (like a well or river), fill up, and then lift the water to a higher level, where it would be emptied into a channel for irrigation.
