Dhal Dighi




Dhal Dighi is a big lake situated just a kilometer from Gangarampur, in South Dinajpur District, West Bengal. The lake is about 1.5 km in length and dates back to the Pal Dynasty. The color of the water of this lake is ‘Dhala’ (White), hence the name Dhal Dighi.

Kal Dighi is just 200 m from the lake. The grave of a famous Muslim saint Atash Fakir is situated on the northern bank of the lake.
