About Jallianwala Bagh

Jallianwala Bagh is a historic garden and 'memorial of national importance' in Amritsar, Punjab, India, commemorating one of the darkest days in Indian history. It is the site of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre that took place on 13th April 1919 when British troops, under the command of General Dyer, opened fire on a peaceful gathering of unarmed civilians, including women and children, who were protesting against the Rowlatt Act. This act of colonial brutality resulted in hundreds of deaths and injured thousands, sparking outrage and marking a significant shift in the Indian independence movement. Today, Jallianwala Bagh has been transformed into a public garden and houses a memorial established in 1951 to honor the victims. The site includes a Martyr's Gallery, a flame-shaped eternal flame monument, and bullet marks preserved on the garden's walls. It serves as a somber reminder of the struggle for India's freedom.

Very sombre but informative. A must.
Sombre but informative. History. Easy to navigate and well laid out. Number of small galleries. Amritsar is freezing at present, January 2024 and this was so nice and warm inside! Information boards are in English too. Restrooms on the premises were not that clean. Only go if you are about to burst! Definitely worth a visit to learn more about this tragic chapter in Indian history. Very close to the Golden Temple so you can easily combine the two.

Jallianwala Bagh is a poignant reminder of a tragic chapter in Indian history. The memorial evokes a profound sense of solemnity as you walk through the narrow entrance and stand on the grounds that witnessed the devastating events of April 13, 1919. The bullet marks on the walls and the Martyrs' well speak volumes about the sacrifices made during the massacre. The serene garden setting contrasts starkly with the somber history, creating a reflective atmosphere. A visit to Jallianwala Bagh is a sobering experience, urging visitors to remember and honor those who lost their lives for the pursuit of freedom.

A emotional historical place for all Indian. Every Indian should visit this place and pay tribute towards unarmed civilians died in brutal massacre. This place renovated to modern era two years back. You will see bullet marks on the wall. This place is free entry.
