Description
The Martyr's well inside Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar. In 1919, when there was a demonstration inside the garden for Indian independence, a contingent of the military arrived (commanded by General Dyer) and fired at the unarmed crowd until they ran out of ammunition. To escape this massacre, more than a hundred people jumped into this well; when the bodies were removed from the well, there were more than a hundred bodies.
