Description: Another look at the red stone obelisk which, along with the garden itself commemorates the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of innocent unarmed Indian civilians by a demented Gen. Dayer (Dyer). For detailed notes about the Jallianwala Bagh massacre see earlier pictures in this album. (see preceding images). The two short stumps on either side of the obelisk makes it look like fenders of an ancient truck! I think there is supposed to be a pool with fountains at the base of the obelisk- there is even a small causeway for people to cross over the pool to get to the obelisk as you can see at the far left. But the fountain was not in use and the pool was bone dry. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)
