Of more profound consequence, and the inspiration behind the Hindu "bhajan" "It Is 'He' (Jai Sri Krishna)", was his trip to India, in January and February 1974. In Benares, Harrison forged a plan with longtime mentor Shankar to sponsor an Indian classical-music concert tour later in the year, featuring as many as eighteen musicians and an unprecedented (in the West) range of traditional Indian instruments. An album would be recorded just beforehand, at Harrison's home studio at Friar Park, in Oxfordshire. Ravi Shankar's Music Festival from India was the realisation of a long-held dream for the ex-Beatle, but, as with his dedication to Splinter's "The Place I Love", the project would impact on the quality of his own album.
