Jallianwala Bagh is a historic memorial garden of national importance located in the vicinity of the Golden Temple complex. It commemorates the tragic massacre of hundreds of peaceful Indian civilians by British occupation forces on April 13, 1919. Today, the garden is a place of quiet reflection, featuring the original bullet-marked walls, the Martyrs' Well where people jumped to save themselves, and a majestic eternal flame memorial. The site is a poignant reminder of India's struggle for independence and is beautifully preserved.
