George Harrison in Kashmir with Pandit Ravi Shankar

George Harrisson on his first trip to India to learn the sitar with Pandit Ravi Shankar on a houseboat in Kashmir:

It was a fantastic time. I would go out and look at temples and go shopping. We travelled all over and eventually went up to Kashmir and stayed on a houseboat in the middle of the Himalayas. It was incredible. I’d wake up in the morning and a little Kashmiri fellow, Mr Butt, would bring us tea and biscuits and I could hear Ravi in the next room, practicing.
