Dighalipukhuri, located in the heart of the Guwahati city was created by Bhagadatta by digging a canal from the Brahmaputra river. In historical times, it was used by the Ahoms as a naval yard. Its access to the Brahmaputra was eventually closed, and during colonial times, that portion was further filled on which the Circuit House was built. Later, the Gauhati High Court building too was built in the newly filled area. It is a beautiful pond and may be a good tourist spot to visit within the city.
