The Beatles Ashram, also known as the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram, is a now-abandoned meditation center in the forests near Rishikesh. It gained fame when the Beatles stayed here in 1968 to learn Transcendental Meditation, composing many songs during their visit. Today, visitors can explore the decaying buildings covered in vibrant graffiti and murals, creating a haunting yet artistic atmosphere. The site offers a glimpse into 1960s counterculture and spiritual history, with the tranquil forest setting adding to its allure.
