Jallianwala Bagh is a poignant memorial to the 1919 massacre where British troops fired on unarmed Indian civilians. The garden retains bullet marks on its walls and the well where many jumped to escape the gunfire. Visitors walk through the narrow entrance, see the Martyrs' Well, and stand before the eternal flame, reflecting on the tragedy that galvanized India's independence movement. The site is a powerful reminder of colonial brutality.

Don't miss

  • See the bullet holes still visible in the walls of the garden.
  • Visit the Martyrs' Well, where over 100 people died trying to escape.
  • Read the names of the victims inscribed on the memorial plaque.
