Jallianwala Bagh – National Memorial of Sacrifice 2025
A historic garden that stands as a silent witness to the tragic massacre of 13 April 1919 and India’s freedom struggle.
Jallianwala Bagh is one of India’s most important historical landmarks. On 13 April 1919, British troops under General Dyer opened fire on a peaceful gathering here, killing hundreds of innocent civilians. The incident became a turning point in India’s freedom movement.
Today, the site is preserved as a national memorial. The bullet-marked walls, the Martyrs’ Well, and the eternal flame remind visitors of the sacrifices made for India’s independence.
A visit to Jallianwala Bagh is an emotional and educational experience, especially for those who wish to understand the true cost of freedom.
