Jallianwala Bagh

Jallianwala Bagh is a historic public garden in Amritsar that commemorates the tragic massacre of 1919, where British troops killed hundreds of Indian civilians. The site features an eternal flame and walls bearing bullet marks, which serve as a somber reminder of the events that unfolded here, reflecting the struggle for India's independence. Plan about an hour to walk through the garden, where you can also see the memorial designed by architect, Sir Edward Lutyens. Visit early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid crowds, and consider pairing your visit with the nearby Golden Temple, which amplifies the area’s historical significance.
