Dishergarh is a neighbourhood in Asansol of Paschim Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal.

According to popular belief, the name "Dishergarh" originated from "Shergarh" i.e. "The Fort of Sher Afghan", the Jagirdar of Burdwan.

Probably, this fort was a holiday resort of Sher Afghan who was the first husband of Mehr- un - nissa (later Noor Jehan after marrying Jehangir).

It is said that Jehangir got Sher Afghan killed to possess Mehr - un - nissa whose renowned beauty he was obsessed with.

Although, there is no direct evidence to prove that Sher Afghan used to visit Shergarh with Mehr - un - nissa, some local names nearby the area point its link towards royalty.

Remnants of a semicircular mote, ideal in design as a defensive canal, can be found even today, very prominent at Bhanga Pool area on the way to Barakar and also at Sodepur.

The colony had one of the oldest European Clubs and tennis courts of the area, the remnants of which are visible up to this day.

The place basically consists of a straight road which bifurcates at the Dishegarh Post Office More, one towards Asansol via Neamatpur and the other towards Barakar .

There is also a pilgrimage centre for Muslim community known to the local people as Sher Shah Baba ka Mazar.

One can also go to Ranchi (190 km from Dishergarh) or Jamshedpur as direct bus service is available but their count is very small.
