Jallianwala Bagh, situated in Amritsar (Punjab-India), is a memorial built in memory of Indians who lost their life during the Indian Independence struggle. This memorial is dedicated to the memory of those who died facing the bullets of the British rulers while on a peaceful traditional gathering of people on the Punjabi festival day of Baisakhi (the New Years Day for Sikhs) on April 13, 1919. In a shooting by British soldiers under the leadership of Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer, lasting hardly 10 minutes, around 380 Indian men, women and children lost their lives. Medical reports have put the casualties at above a 1000. The massacre became an important catalyst of the Indian independence movement.

Situated near the Golden Temple complex, it consists of a Garden with memorials built in memory of the Martyrs. It was dedicated to the Nation in 1961 by the then President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad. There is a stone Pillar at the centre of the garden with details of the event. There is a Well where as many as 120 people lost their lives trying to hide to avoid the bullets on that fateful day. There is a museum too which depicts the events of that day. An eternal flame burns at the site as a tribute to the fallen
