Komola Rani Dighi

The traditional Komola Rani Dighi is located near The Birishiri Union Parishad, three kilometers from Durgapur Upazila Sadar. It is a tourist spot in Netrokona that can take to close the nature.

For many, it is also known as Sagar Dighi. In the late 15th century, Sussang married a beautiful Ramani named Janaki Nath Kamala Devi, king of Durgapur. 

The son was born in the house of King Janaki Nath. The child was named Raghunath. King Janaki Nath dug a pond to address the water scarcity of the people. But the king was worried when the water did not rise in the pond.

Then one night, the king dreamt that the pond would be filled with water only if Queen Komola Devi went to the middle pond and offered prayers. 

The queen also thought of the kingdom’s people and agreed to offer prayers in the middle of the pond. Suddenly, the water rose from all sides and drowned the Rani Komola. 

According to many, the ground under Dighi burst swells with water due to lightning. King Janaki Nath was upset over such an incident. He always worried about the king’s son Raghu. 

One night, the king dreamt that if he left his baby Raghu on the banks of the pond, queen Komola Devi would be able to breastfeed Raghunath. 

But the condition is that the king will not be able to touch the queen in any way.

King Janaki Nath used to leave his child on the banks of the pond at night. Queen Komola Devi used to breastfeed her child and mix it again in the water. 

One day the king went ahead with the desire to touch the queen. But the queen merged with the water. Since then, he has never come to feed his child.

The king dreamt that if his son Raghunath could have breast milked for another 7 days, he would have been considered a victorious and mighty hero. 

History suggests that during the reign of King Raghunath, Susan Durgapur was established as a powerful Pargana. King Raghunath attacked the jungle house fort and defeated Vikrampur zamindar Chand Roy, Kedar Roy, and was awarded the title of Maharaja by the Mughal emperors.

At present, the Someshwari river flows through Komola Rani Dighi. The south and west banks of Dighi still survive as a witness to time. Accommodations have been built on the banks of the pond, and some parts are used as cropland.
