It is situated at the Sawkuchi village near Narayanpur. It was constructed by the King Lakhminarayan in between 1400-1500 AD in the name of his wife ‘Radha’. Some scholars also argue that it was constructed by Queen Sarbeswari. But the construction work ended in halfway and hence it was named as Adhapukhuri (Adha means half) which eventually changed to Radhapukhuri.

Presently this tank is used for fish breeding and cultivation by the Fisheries Department, Government of Assam.
