Details

The lake is located on the south side of the shrine of Hazrat Khan Jahan (RA) covering an area of ​​about 200 bighas. There are various myths about the naming of this lake. Some people say that it is called "Tagore Dighi" to get the statue of Buddha Tagore. According to another, Khanjahan was called "Tagore" by the native Hindus out of devotion and the dighi was excavated under his special supervision and hence it was called Tagore Dighi after the name of their devotional Tagore. Some say that Pir Ali Mohammad Taher was Khajahan's best friend. He was formerly a Brahmin and his name was Sri Govinda Lal Roy. Khanjahan used to affectionately address him as "Thakur". He named this lake "Thakur Dighi" to protect his memory. His shrine is located to the west adjacent to the shrine of Khanjahan (RA).

 

The main ghat of the lake is spacious and beautiful. There are separate ghats for women. The descendants of the crocodiles called Kala Pahar and Dhala Pahar are still alive in this lake. The water of this lake is sweet. Many people drink water from this lake and take bath in the lake to cure their ailments.
