Over 1,000 people were injured.

At the entrance is a statue of Udham Singh. Once entered, some old trees can be seen in the garden with some buildings at the back. With the words 'Vande Mataram', a flame titled 'Amar Jyoti' is seen burning to the right under a domed meditation area.
  • The portico pillars, just inside the garden, represent Dyer's soldiers.
