The king dug a lot of ponds out of love for his wife.
There are many love stories in the pages of history. With the passage of time, the way of expressing love has changed a lot. The love story of Shahjahan-Mumtaz is their memorial on earth and the Taj Mahal has immortalized their love even today.
Although the words seem like a fairy tale, the so-called King Chandilal Pal of the Pala dynasty has kept such signs of love. He dug 365 ponds in Naogaon for the well-being of his queen and gave birth to a fairy tale.
Folklore of Chakchandira village in Isanpur union of Dhamoirhat upazila of Naogaon, Raja Chandilal Pal brought the first queen to the palace in the eighteenth century. A few years later he fell in love and brought a second queen. The king loved the second queen very much. After a few days, Rani was diagnosed with an incurable disease.
Raja Chandilal calls all the princes of the kingdom to no avail. Later he got the news of a skilled hakim of the neighboring state. He invited Hakim through envoys to come to his kingdom. After Hakim came, the king told him everything about the queen's illness. Hakim advised the king to dig 365 ponds and bathe the queen in one pound every day, then the queen would get rid of the disease.
Hakim's words made the king think. How to dig so many ponds in such a short time? His wife quickly started digging the pond by giving it to all the people of the state. A pond was dug during the day and the queen bathed in it. After a year, Rani was cured of severe illness.
On the surface, going to Chakchandira village, one can see the vast green forestry of the forest department on the banks of each of the 365 ponds. The chirping of various birds can be heard on the branches of the forest trees. Apart from this, the forest department has its own green afforestation on 1500 hectares of land, which is very attractive for travelers. However, if the transportation system is good, many visitors will be crowded, the locals said.
Local people said they heard from their grandfathers that King Chandipal dug 365 ponds spread over a kilometer and a half here for the well-being of his little queen. After the queen recovered, the two queens lived side by side in the palace. Two separate ponds were excavated for the bathing of the two queens, which are now known as the 'Two Satin Ponds'. If you go down to bathe in the two ponds, you will see many valuable things including bricks and stones.
They also said that many people come from far away to see 365 ponds. Due to the poor communication system here, many people come and suffer, many go back again
