As you arrive early in the morning, the golden rays of the rising sun reflect off the temple’s gilded surface, creating a mesmerizing view. Participate in the morning prayers and immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere.

- Jallianwala Bagh - Jallianwala Bagh, a public garden that holds a significant place in India’s struggle for independence.

Your guide will recount the harrowing events of that day, explaining the historical context and the impact it had on India’s freedom movement. Walk through the garden, visit the memorial, and see the bullet marks that still remain as a silent testimony to the tragedy.
- The Partition Museum - Next, head to the Partition Museum, which is dedicated to preserving the stories and memories of the Partition of India in 1947. The museum’s exhibits include personal artifacts, photographs, newspaper clippings, and oral histories that provide a poignant glimpse into the human cost of this massive displacement. Your guide will offer detailed narratives, helping you understand the profound impact of the Partition on millions of lives.
