Jallianwala Bagh Amritsar

During our Kulu Manali trip we spent a day in Amritsar . As soon as we reached Amritsar we decided to visit Jallianwalla bagh then to accommodate our room for saving the time as in one day we had to visit Golden temple and Wagah border .

The bus that picked up us from airport left us near the main road and we took auto , 4 of us in each to Jallianwala bagh it took only 5 minutes and they charged Rs 20 per person. (May 2018)

Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, also called Massacre of Amritsar was an incident on April 13, 1919, in which British troops fired on a large crowd of unarmed Indians in an open space known as the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar in Punjab.

The Jallianwala Bagh site in Amritsar is now a national monument.

It killed several hundred people and wounded many hundreds more. It marked a turning point in India’s modern history, in that it left a permanent scar on Indo-British relations and was the precursor to Mahatma Gandhi’s full commitment to the cause of Indian nationalism and independence from Britain.

There is a well in that complex to escape from the bullet shots the innocent crowd fell into the well and died . It is closed with iron mesh now .

It is said about more than 300 peoples were killed .

It houses a museum, gallery and a number of memorial structures.

With a disheartening feeling we went Hotel Ritz plaza got freshened up took breakfast we started to Wagah border .
