Description:
The kings of Coochbehar planned the city and built the administrative buildings around the huge lake called the Sagar Dighi. The Sagar Dighi is a huge tank which has been recently cleaned and cleared. A place for daily meetings and appointments, Sagar Dighi, is right in the centre of this small town. Boat rides and cool breeze around has made it all the more popular spot.
Most of the buildings around here are still in use for administrative purposes. Built in brick and coloured in red, these buildings give a typical colonial administrative look. The District Magistrate or the D M building stands royally facing the Sagar Dighi. The Moti Mahal, the head Post Office building, the M J N Hospital building are all built during the 19th century. The 60 year old running MJN club and the Jenkins School, established in 1861 are premier institutions of India.
