Jerusalem (PTI): Rare pictures clicked during British musical group 
Beatles' visit to India's holy city Hrishikesh will be on display at 
an exhibition in Tel Aviv next month.

The exhibition titled as 'Imagine Liverpool', a joint venture of The 
Beatles Story and the Liverpool Soccer Club, tries to encash upon the 
two greatest symbols of Liverpool ­ Beatles and the football club.

The exhibition will display photos of the legendary musical group 
taken during their stay at Maharishi Yogi's ashram in Hrishikesh that 
have been discovered quite recently, news portal 'Ynetnews' reported.

The band members ­ John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and 
Ringo Star ­ went to the ashram in order to mend the rift that had 
arisen between them. And the experience led to a creative boom 
resulting in the writing of 48 new songs.

At the same time, a Canadian Jewish photographer, Paul Saltzman, had 
also arrived at the ashram. Saltzman set his tent outside the ashram 
and stayed there for several days until the British stars invited him 
to join their group.

Almost thirty years after the music band's India trip, Saltzman 
stumbled on a forgotten cardboard box in his house that bore the 
caption, 'The Beatles – India', the portal said.

Julia Bird, John Lennon's sister, will be the guest of honour at the 
inauguration of the exhibition which will also showcase photos from 
the soccer club's archive.
