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.

Wagah Border Ceremony
Punjab
Every sunset at the India–Pakistan border near Amritsar, BSF jawans and Pakistan Rangers face off in a thunderous, high-kicking Beating Retreat — flags lowered in perfect sync while packed grandstands roar on both sides. Part military precision, part theatre, wholly electric.
