Dighalipukhri, Guwahati
Dighalipukhri (meaning the long pond) in the heart of Guwahatti, the capital of the Indian State of Assam is one of the most beautiful spots in the country. Legend has it that the pond was created by King Bhagadutta by digging a canal from the Brahmaputra. Later the mouth to the river was closed and the land occupied by what became part of the Civil Lines. The pond is surrounded by majestic trees and the cultural centre of the North East. Institutions like Cotton College, Handuque College for Girls, Assam State Museum, Assam Sahitya Sabha, Assam Anusandhan Samiti, Rabindra Bhawan, Law College and Assam Tennis Association are situated around it. Great to be back in Guwahatti after a long, long time.
