Introduction
The largest dighi (excavated lake) in southern Bangladesh, at Madhabpasha in Babuganj about 11 km from Barishal city. It was excavated in 1780 by Rani Durgabati, mother of Raja Joy Narayan, and covers about 25 hectares. A small artificial island sits in the lake and migratory birds gather here in winter. It is close to Guthia Mosque, so the two can be combined in one trip.
Suggested time: Half a day
