Jallianwala Bagh (Hindi: जलियांवाला बाग) is a public garden in Amritsar in the Punjab state of

India, and houses a memorial of national importance, established in 1951 by the

Government of India, to commemorate the massacre of peaceful celebrators including

unarmed women and children by British occupying forces, on the occasion of the

Punjabi New Year on April 13, 1919 in the Jallianwala B

agh Massacre. Colonial British

Raj sources identified 379 fatalities and estimated about 1100 wounded. Civil Surgeon

Dr. Smith indicated that there were 1,526 casualties. The true figures of fatalities are

unknown, but are likely to be many times higher than the official figure of 379. The 6.5-acre (26,000 m2) garden site of the massacre is located in the vicinity of

Golden Temple complex, the holiest shrine of Sikhism. The memorial is managed by the Jallianwala Bagh National Memorial Trust, which was

established as per the Jallianwala Bagh National Memorial Act passed by the

Government of India in 1951. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jallianwala_Bagh
