The cemetery has 24 Chinese graves. Also, the cemetery is the only one in India to house Japanese graves. Sadly, the remains of the 11 fallen Japanese soldiers were taken back to Japan in 2012.

A temple dedicated to the deity Tara. The goddess in the sanctum sanctorum is not an idol but a pit of water.

Dighalipukhuri derived its name from the word dighal which means long. The lake is believed to be dug by Bhagadutta, the king of Pragjyotishpura. It is also mentioned in the Mahabharata, the great Indian epic. Dighalipukhuri is a prominent tourist attraction in the heart of Guwahati with boating facilities and recreational activities. It is an old rectangular lake half a mile long originally engraved out from the Brahmaputra. Later, it was separated from the river when a portion was filled up. There are some nearby restaurants where one can have lunch or dinner.
