1968: The Rishikesh compound in India today

Some photos and a little bit of context (and an error, 1969 is mentioned as the year for the white album):

Quoting;
"The property became the victim of government politics for some time but nevertheless maintained its artsy vibe. It has been a site of illustrious graffiti since 1990 where trespassers decorated the wall as a tribute to the Beatles. Encouraged by the street artist Pan Trinity Das, the government, after initial hesitation, officially opened the ashram to the public in 2015. In February 2016, The Beatles Ashram Mural Project saw Das along with four other artists producing murals for what used to be the ashram’s lecture hall. Marking the 50th anniversary of Lennon and Harrison’s visit to Rishikesh, the celebration in the Chaurasi kutia followed the example of the two-year Liverpool museum exhibition.

Take a glimpse at the ashram that nourished the Beatles’ creativity, below."
