- Maneesh2700Ghaziabad, India221 contributionsJallianwala Bagh -- A tribute to InnocenceJallianwala Bagh in Amritsar is a place which is worth visiting if you are in Amritsar. This place reminds you of the atrocities we Indians faced during the British Raj ... A memoir for the generations to mourn the state of affairs at that timeVisited December 2022Written December 20, 2022
- LiberaceUnited Kingdom188 contributionsAn oasis that has to be seenYes, an oasis - lush green gardens amidst the crazy crowded markets but...this is the site of a terrible tragedy that we all need to be aware of. It is hard to absorb but I am pleased we visited.Visited January 2023Written January 11, 2023
- Karunesh JDubai, United Arab Emirates452 contributionsWell maintained historical site close to the Golden TempleThe Jallianwala Bagh is a free to enter site. It has many small galleries explaining the horrific incident which occurred during British rule. The place is well maintained and there is a light show everyday in the evening around 6pm.Visited January 2023Written January 20, 2023
- Kuldip SinghWolverhampton, United Kingdom411 contributionsLearn about the massacre to prevent another oneThis is a lovely place to visit free of charge and details the massacre of Jallianwala Bagh. The indoor exhibits are good are let down by poor projections which could be better if it was projection mapping. Also security staff use their whistle instead of leaving their chair to deal with any visitors. It can get hot outside but there is plenty of shelter. Its surprising to see that before during and after the massacre the authorities passed laws to control people, controlled the press, controlled the meeting up of people and had trials without legal judiciary!Visited April 2023Travelled with familyWritten April 7, 2023
- marcFrance45 contributionsExcellentExcellent way to pay a tribute to the martyrs. The shows projected at each of the galleries gave a clear account of the happenings in the Bagh. The light show started at 7 p.m. as we visited during summer and lasted for around 30 minutes. During winter the timing for the light show varies. It is a very noble service and the security guards are very polite and agile. Respect and admire the way the Bagh has been maintained.Visited March 2023Written April 12, 2023

The monument itself is a fitting tribute and is surrounded by beautiful and well kept gardens that have been well thought out and cared for.

Very important memorial gardens.
Peaceful and serene,,belying the horror of that fateful day in history ,that many were unaware of until that scene in the 1982 film "Gandhi" directed by Sir Richard Attenborough (who was criticed by some at the time)..
Visit is very thought provoking,and a little disturbing as one wonders that a small minority of humankind worldwide continues atrocities against fellow humans ,the majority of whom simply wish to live in harmony.
Visited as part of small group tour ,had I been alone I would have liked to stay longer to sit and reflect.

The Jalianwala Bagh memorial has an easy access from the Golden temple side too and this can be done on foot.The Garden which still bears testimony to the gruesome deed of the British and to their General Dyre who ordered firing on a group of unarmed innocent people who had congregated there on Baisakhi day has been well preserved.It has no entrance fees.The brutal unprovoked massacre of Indians at Jalianwala Bagh by British firing ignited Punjab like nothing else.The memorial has some Air-conditioned museums which vividly recreate this dark episode of history.On one flank is the well in which several innocents jumped in sheer panic in trying to save themselves.There is a wall on the other flank which has 28 bullet marks still there.The garden is well maintained.

A park, museum, a memorial all in one.
It's free to enter, the museum parts are light-touch but do a good job at explaining the events that led up to the massacre and the massacre itself.
You enter, see the galleries/halls, see the well where people jumped into, see bullet-holed walls, and a monument to the dead.
It's probably not really for kids (some of the museum's galleries), but despite the solemn nature of the park, there are still a lot of families having a day out there taking pictures.

This is the place where one of the most harrowing incidents of mankind history happened when General Dyre ordered to fire bullets on innocent people on the day of Baisakhi - 13 April 1919. Hundreds of people were murdered and injured in same incident. The garden has been renovated since then but you can still find the walls with bullet signs and the well in which people jumped to save themselves from bullet firing. There are many exhibits and shows which tell more about the incident - the reasons leading to the massacre and the Indian Freedom movement and especially the role of Punjab in freedom movement. I would definitely recommend visiting it if you visit Amritsar. There is no entry fee.

Take children along to visit. Its a lesson in history and this generation must know what it takes to seek independence from the colonists. Though the trip alone to Bagh wont dissuade from migration to foreign lands yet every one must visit once.
Well maintained lawns though a bit more on cleanliness is required.

Normally, tourist attractions are open throughout the week unless they are monuments or museums. Jallianwallah Baug is a garden. It should be open.
Try Punjab Tourism office in Amritsar. No. 0183 2554412 and enquire from them to be sure.

By the looks of it, it should take another 5 months or so. That was what we were told by the people working on the renovations in Dec 2019.

At this place many people lose their life and it is believed that people who die before their time still wander at those places.
Has there been any evidence of any paranormal activity at this place? Anyone felt presence of those people in form of spirits who died in the massacre?
