Jallianwala Bagh

Amritsar, Punjab, India

Overview

The walled garden where, on Baisakhi 1919, General Dyer's troops fired on an unarmed gathering — bullet marks still scar the walls and the Martyrs' Well stands as silent witness. Now a memorial of flame-shaped sandstone, galleries and an eternal flame beside the Golden Temple.

Why visit: A moving, essential pilgrimage of India's independence story.

History: The massacre of 13 April 1919 killed hundreds and became a turning point of the freedom struggle, galvanising Gandhi's non-cooperation movement.

Things to do
  • ›See the preserved bullet marks and Martyrs' Well
  • ›Walk the narrow original entrance lane
  • ›Watch the light-and-sound show on the massacre
  • ›Pay respects at the eternal flame and memorial galleries
