Geography & terrain

Jallianwala Bagh lies in the heart of Amritsar in Punjab, 500 m from the Golden Temple — the memorial garden of the 1919 massacre, its martyr's well and the flame set within the walled enclosure of the city's old quarter.

History & culture

The garden's story runs with the April 1919 tragedy — the firing on the unarmed gathering by the British troops of the Amritsar, with the hundreds of the dead and the martyr's well where the many jumped; the garden's transformation into the national memorial with its eternal flame and the museum, with the site's role in the freedom movement's story, gives Jallianwala Bagh its memorial-martyr character.
