Jallianwala Bagh

Jallianwala Bagh (park) is a memorial ground that is located a few minutes away from the Golden Temple. This poignant park commemorates the many Indians that were wounded and killed by the British General Dyer on April 13, 1919. The significance of the park emanates from the fact that the people of the city were having a peaceful gathering when they were fired upon. Among the people present were children and women too. Today the Jallianwala Bagh has been converted into a historical tourist spot, as a sign of respect to the thousands of freedom fighters massacred mercilessly during the British rule in India.
