Located on the banks of the Ganges River in Rishikesh, The Beatles Ashram was once a thriving center for Transcendental Meditation (TM) led by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. In 1968, The Beatles visited this ashram, along with other celebrities, seeking spiritual enlightenment. During their stay, they composed many songs that later became part of their “White Album” and other works. Their visit brought global attention to Rishikesh as a spiritual and yoga hub.
Today, the ashram is an abandoned yet mystical site covered in graffiti, Beatles-themed artwork, and nature trails. The stone meditation huts (Chaurasi Kutia), old lecture halls, and the hall where The Beatles meditated still stand, creating an aura of nostalgia. Visitors often explore the ruins, meditate in the tranquil surroundings, and admire the vibrant wall murals depicting The Beatles and Indian spiritual themes.
