Jallianwala Bagh

Jallianwala Bagh is a historic public garden and memorial in Amritsar, marking one of the darkest chapters in India’s struggle for independence. On April 13, 1919, British troops led by General Dyer opened fire on thousands of unarmed civilians gathered here, killing hundreds. Today, the site stands as a National Memorial, preserving the bullet-riddled walls, the Martyrs’ Well, and an eternal flame in remembrance of the victims. The Jallianwala Bagh Museum within the complex provides historical context through artifacts, photographs, and eyewitness accounts. The well-maintained garden and memorial structure serve as a powerful reminder of India’s colonial past and its fight for freedom.
