What you can see and do

In the middle of Dibar Dighi in Patnitala upazila, an octagonal granite pillar rises out of the water. It is thought to have been set up in the 11th century as a victory monument by the Kaivarta ruler Divyak or his successors. Cut from a single block of stone, the pillar is clearly visible from the bank.
