Just as an addendum to the previous comment, the actual water tower that Saroo Brierley remembered was not the one in Khandwa, it was one near the station in Burhanpur where he went with his brother: 76.198996° East, 21.335329° North.
In the film, Dev Patel as Saroo, recognises features of his home town in Google Earth. One particular image featured in the movie from Google Earth is of a water tower that Saroo recognises. However, the water tower in this image is not the water tower near the Kandhwar station. It is a water tower at Bagat Ki Kothi Railway Station in the south of the city of Jodhpur, about 650 km north west of Khandwa.
The tower's location - 73.1051° East, 26.2537° North.
