Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Ashram "Shankaracharya Nagar"

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Ashram, also known as Shankaracharya Nagar or Chaurasi Kutia, is a historic spiritual site located on the eastern bank of the Ganges River in Rishikesh. The ashram gained international fame when The Beatles visited in 1968 to learn Transcendental Meditation from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The ashram features numerous meditation huts, halls, and structures designed for spiritual practice. Today, the site is part of the Rajaji Tiger Reserve and features vibrant graffiti art and murals inspired by The Beatles and their music. The abandoned ashram has become a pilgrimage site for both music fans and spiritual seekers, offering a unique blend of music history, spiritual heritage, and natural beauty. The serene ambiance and historical significance make it a fascinating destination for visitors interested in the intersection of music, spirituality, and culture.
