Leave it to George Harrison to take a selfie in front of the Taj Mahal - decades before the term was even invented. The Beatles and India have a strong connection thanks to Harrison. He was smitten by Indian classical music and would collaborate with music maestro Ravi Shankar - whose influences can be heard in Harrison's compositions for The Beatles.
Harrison was infatuated with Indian culture. He got the rest of his bandmates involved in his passion as well. Harrison’s interest in Indian music was spawned in 1965 on the set of the movie, Help - when a sequence for the movie was filmed at an Indian restaurant in London. Indian musicians were in the scene playing instruments - and that how Harrison got took up the sitar.
