Well-kept memorial garden with a small museum area to provide basic information. And looking down the martyrs' well is pretty intense. Very close to Golden Temple.

As a 'bagh' (garden), it's OK; big, well maintained and good to walk around....But, then that's not what you go for... This place has so much history attached to it. Just as I entered that narrow passage (one of the only 2 entrances to bagh; other being a closed gate), different emotions started arising within - varied from respect to... More

This place will teach you until which point some people from the colonial powers think they are actually superior human beings and act in a cruel and arrogant way.... In this spot, in 1919, some Indians were gathered (pacifically and unnarmed) against the martial law imposed by the Brittish. The response? They sent a group of soldiers and open fire... More

Jallianwala Bagh is a historical place where a British General ordered mass killing of peaceful Indian Gatherers during British Raj in India. It is situated right next to Golden Temple and is hardly a 5 minute walk from the main gate of Golden Temple. The place is well preserved. You can see the bullet marks on the old walls. You... More

So many people killed mercilessly and brutally and you see General Dyer even justifying this after the event is over. Some of the real stories depicted in pictures are heart rending!

The tale of the martyrs of Jallianwala Bagh has been recounted many times, in fact we have even studied it at school, but the impact of being there was very great. We stood on haloed ground, no doubts about it, the goose-bumps told us so. We still have and always will have a heavy heart for the men, women &... More

I didnt take any pictures because I was depressed after recalling what happened here last century...there's a mournful silence in the campus...as if the incident happened a few months back.
