The Massacre At Jallianwala BaghThe name Jallianwala Bagh itself evokes a spirit of patriotism in every Indian, bringing back the memory of the worst tragedy in the entire history of India’s freedom struggle.

The incident, which took place on 13th April, 1919, resulted in the death of hundreds of innocent civilians of India.

Remembering The Martyrs Of Jallianwala Bagh Tragedy In 1961, a memorial was constructed on the site of the 1919 Amritsar massacre to commemorate the sacrifices of people who became victims of the ruthless firing.

The well into which many people jumped and drowned in an attempt to guard themselves from the onslaught of bullets is also preserved inside the park. At the entrance of this public park is a memorial tablet that gives an account of the history. Another part of the garden has the Flame of Liberty, an eternal flame of remembrance lit in the memory of those who died during the tragic massacre at Jallianwala Bagh.
