THE BEATLES “The Beatles In India” Hardcover Photography Book Paul Salzman

In 1968, the Beatles went to Rishikesh, India, studied transcendental meditation, & wrote music. These intimate photos are the only record of their time in this sacred retreat. No photographers or press were allowed at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas, but the Beatles had no objection to fellow visitor Paul Saltzman freely snapping pictures during their time there. This unprecedented access resulted in an extensive collection of intimate photos of the world’s most beloved rock band during one of their most serene & productive periods, only two years before the official dissolution of the group.

Containing a wide-ranging narrative by Saltzman—about everything from the story of how “Dear Prudence” came to be to George Harrison’s description of the first time he picked up a sitar—this unique and exclusive exploration of one of the Beatles’ most tender and bittersweet periods is a must-have for all fans of the legendary rock group.
