Durga Sagar, known locally as Madhabpasha Dighi,[1] is the largest lake in southern Bangladesh.

Rani Durgabati, mother of Raja Joy Narayan, had the pond excavated in 1780.

There is a small island in the middle of the lake; this island was originally not part of the lake – it was created artificially to beautify and increase tourist attraction.

[2] It is located at Madhabpasha village of Babuganj Upazila, about 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) away from Barisal town.

Tourists can go there by road, including by bus, from Barisal City.
