Jallianwala Bagh

You reach Jallianwala Bagh through a narrow brick passage — the same passage that made escape impossible in 1919. Inside there is a memorial flame, lawns, a well, and walls that still carry bullet marks. It is short to walk and long to sit with.

Why visit

• It puts the freedom movement in a specific, physical place rather than a textbook.
• It is a two-minute walk from the Golden Temple, so it fits into any old-city morning.
