At the ashram, The Beatles meditated, ate vegetarian food and wrote songs. There was also a party for George's 25th birthday

The retreat ended abruptly after allegations about the Maharishi. John and George decided overnight to leave - Ringo and Paul had already gone

The Maharishi was accused of behaving inappropriately with some female guests, among them actress Mia Farrow

In 2015, the abandoned ashram was opened to the public as a tourist destination. It is now called the 'Beatles Ashram'
