On April 13, 1919, British troops opened fire on a peaceful gathering here, killing hundreds of innocent men, women, and children. Today, the site is preserved as a memorial, featuring the Martyrs’ Well, bullet marks on the walls, and a flame-shaped monument. A visit to Jallianwala Bagh offers tourists a moving insight into colonial history and the sacrifices made for India's freedom.
