Sindurmati Tirthadham

Sindurmati Tirthadham is located on the border of Kurigram district and Lalmonirhat district in Sindurmati Mauza on 16.5 acres of land. Dighi is a sacred pilgrimage site for Hindus. During the renovation of this dighi in 1975 by government initiative, many ancient coins and idols were found which are now preserved in the Bangladesh National Museum.

History and nomenclature
It is said that a Hindu Zamindar Raj Narayan Chakraborty dug this lake to have a child. When her two daughters were born, they were named Sindur and Moti. But after the excavation of the pond was completed, it was seen that the water was not rising.. After realizing his dream, the zamindar organized a puja on the Navami day. Puja is organized right in the middle of the Dighi. His two daughters Sindur and Moti were staying there. Before the end of the puja, the water started to rise suddenly. Even though everyone got ashore, Sindur and Moti sank in the water. Later the zamindar dreams that his two daughters attain divinity and attain immortality. Since then the name of this lake is Sindurmati. Over time, the name of that place became Sindurmati.
