In addition to housing a memorial to the British forces’ slaughter of peaceful revellers, Jallianwala Bagh is a public garden. Jallianwala Bagh, which spans 6.5 acres of land, is known for being the site of one of the most tragic days in Indian history, when hundreds of unarmed civilians were slaughtered on General Dyer’s orders while assembling for a calm celebration of Baisakhi. The Jallianwala Bagh National Memorial Trust is in charge of running the location, which is now a lovely park.

At the entryway is a memorial tablet that acts as a historical record. After the country gained its freedom, a memorial was built for the innocent people who lost their lives in the tragic occurrence since it had such a lasting impression on the nation. The massacre memorial was built by the Indian government in 1951 and opened by Dr. Rajendra Prasad on April 13, 1961.

There are several buildings inside the site that serve as reminders of the atrocities that took place there. The bullets that were hurled irrationally at the population still leave their marks on a wall, and many individuals ran into a well to escape the onslaught of the gunfire. Over a thousand Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs are thought to have died in this vicious attack. Here, a tiny street with a significant historical significance runs through. The Jallianwala Bagh still exudes an eerie stillness that induces an inexplicable sense of melancholy and tranquillity.
