Lal Dighi
Sabarna Roy Choudhury family had a kutchery (court-house) and a temple of its family deity Shyam Rai, near Lal Dighi (or red tank), that still stands in the middle of B. B. D. Bagh in the heart of commercial district of Kolkata. It was so named possibly because of the red colour the water acquired during dol, the festival of colours. John Anthony, a person of mixed race used to work there. His grandson, Anthony Firingee, became a famous kabial, a sort of folk singer, in later day Kolkata.
The court-house was first taken on rent and later purchased by the British East India Company.
