Jallianwala Bagh Smarak is a memorial build to pay tribute to those, who were martyred on April 13, 1919, when the British forces under the command of General Dyer shot dead hundreds of protestors at the site protesting the arrest of freedom fighters.
Created using 'adaptive reuse of redundant and underutilised buildings', the restored structures are in line with the local architecture of the city. The 'Shaheedi' well at the Jallianwala Bagh, which witnessed the horrific scenes of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre on April 13, 1919, has also been restored and redefined with a superstructure.
