Acharanga Dighi is located in Mamudpur Union of Kshetlal Upazila of Joypurhat District. It is a traditional sign of ancient civilization. According to locals, during the reign of Moun Bhatt, the zamindar of the original dynasty of Tahirpur in Rajshahi district, the rainfall was low. Because of that, the agricultural lands became almost unfit for cultivation. Maun Bhatta dug this lake in the mid-9th century (c. 817 AD) to make the agricultural land suitable for cultivation. Spread over an area of about 26 acres, Acharanga Dighi is 1000 feet long and 1070 feet wide. Aman paddy was cultivated in this region in the month of Agrahayan with the water of Acharanga Dighi. At the beginning of Paush, the fields of paddy ripening red color looked strangely beautiful. Because of that, the name of this upazila became Khetlal.
Acharanga Dighi is surrounded by 4 tied ghats and numerous green groves. There are various folklores surrounding the Dighi in this area. Legend has it that Dighi water was used as a medicine for various diseases in ancient times as it is clear and sweet like Kakcha water. Traditional religious rituals were also organized around this Dighi at that time. In 1992, re-excavation of Achranga lake was undertaken for reforestation. About 12 ancient statues found at that time are currently preserved in various museums of the country. During the winter, visitors are replete with the chirping of various kinds of birds.
