Lies on the holy banks of river Ganga, Rishikesh is a hub of numerous international recognized ashrams teaching spirituality, yoga, meditation and Ayurveda. The city become popular in 1968 when members of the legendary English rock band Beatles visited Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram (now popularly known as the Beatles Ashram) to learn transcendental meditation.
