Notes: The arrival of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr in Delhi was quite different from the journey taken by John Lennon and George Harrison a few days earlier.

The world`s press was now aware of The Beatles presence in India, and cameramen and reporters were on hand as they disembarked.

The flight from London had lasted 20 hours, and the group was understandably exhausted upon their arrival.

They were met in Delhi by their assistant Mal Evans, and Raghvendra from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi`s ashram in Rishikesh.

Garlands of red and yellow flowers were placed around the visitors necks.
