Thank you for watch the vlog.
দীঘার প্রকৃত নাম বীরকুল যা অষ্টাদশ শতকের শেষভাগে আবিষ্কৃত হয়। ভাইসরয় ওয়ারেন হেস্টিংসের লেখা একটি চিঠিতে এটিকে 'প্রাচ্যের ব্রাইটন' বলে উল্লিখিত দেখা যায়। ১৯২৩ সালে জন ফ্র্যাঙ্ক স্নেইথ নামে এক ব্রিটিশ ভ্রমণকারী এখানকার সৌন্দর্যে মুগ্ধ হয়ে দীঘায় বসবাস শুরু করেন। তার লেখালেখির ফলে দীঘা সম্পর্কে মানুষের আগ্রহ বৃদ্ধি পায়। ভারতের স্বাধীনতার পর এখানে পর্যটন সুবিধা বৃদ্ধি করতে তিনি পশ্চিমবঙ্গের তৎকালীন মুখ্যমন্ত্রী বিধানচন্দ্র রায়কে উৎসাহ দেন।
Originally, there was a place called Beerkul, where Digha lies today. This name was referred in Warren Hastings's letters (1780) as Brighton of the East.[2]
An English businessman John Frank Snaith started living here in 1923 and his writings provided a good exposure to this place.[3] He convinced West Bengal Chief Minister Bidhan Chandra Roy to develop this place to be a beach resort. An old church can be seen near the main gate of Old Digha. This place is also known as Alankarpur. A new mission has been developed in New Digha which is known as Sindhur Tara which is beside Amrabati Park. It's a Church where it is possible to wish for the welfare of family and loved ones. The best way to visit is to book a local rickshaw. There are so many places where one can travel which give mental refreshments, like Tajpur, Odisha Border, Science City etc.
