Uttarakhand Tourism mulls developing Beatles ashram housing memorabilia to attract fans

Minister of Tourism, Government of Uttarakhand, Satpal Maharaj, highlighted the importance of developing tourist destinations in Uttrakhand and revealed that the state is looking at creating a Beatles Ashram. He said, “The problem with that is that it is located within the forest. So we will request the PM to expedite the process so that we can preserve the Beatles memorabilia from their visits to India and their influences. More than 48 of their best songs were written in Rishikesh. We don’t understand its importance; it’s a heritage site.”
