Walk Through Historic Landmark
The walking tour takes you one hour to reach Jallianwala Bagh from its entrance gate near the sacred Golden Temple. Upon entering through the tight passageway, the park creates an intense feeling of sorrow. More than nine decades ago, British officer General Dyer directed his troops at this tranquil garden to kill an unarmed civilian gathering on April 13th, 1919. A hundred people lost their lives while a large number of survivors sustained injuries from British soldiers during the massacre.
A professional local expert will guide you through the park while sharing the unfortunate series of events that shifted Indian history towards independence.
Bullet marks and Memorial
The tour displays prominent preserved bullet marks, which remain visible on the walls that surround the garden. These awful bullet indents serve as testaments to the intense violence that struck on that tragic day and have been preserved as they are. Innocent victims had no option except to plunge into the Martyrs Well because of the gunfire. A preserved well serves as a symbolic monument in the garden to honour the tragic sacrifices made that day.
The central part of the garden holds the Flame of Liberty memorial that dedicates itself to those who died. The burning flame at the memorial perpetually exists to sustain India's everlasting fight for liberty and glorify the country's unwavering national pride.
A guide provides entertaining insights to tourists through the walking tour's unique feature. The guide informs visitors about the heroes' courageous actions and genuine fears by sharing both verified records and secret stories of these brave demonstrations, drawing from his personal strength and national pride. The guide asserts that the attack had a profound emotional impact on Indians, transforming traditional Indian culture as experienced by the Amritsari people.
