NEW DELHI, India?George Harrison’s intimate relationship with Indian mysticism, music and Hinduism sent his wife and son on a pilgrimage to the holy Ganges River, where authorities said the former Beatles’ ashes would be scattered before dawn Tuesday.
Harrison’s widow, Olivia, and his 23-year-old son, Dhani, were to be accompanied by two Hare Krishna devotees who performed Hindu rites on Harrison’s ashes with the family in London, said Maha Mantra Das, a New Delhi spokesman for the International Society of Krishna Consciousness.
The society said its representatives in London had been in contact with Harrison’s family. The family would not discuss any details or confirm any aspect of the reports, spokesman Gavin de Becker said in Los Angeles.
Harrison, 58, died of cancer in Los Angeles on Thursday.
He was cremated hours after his death at Hollywood Forever Memorial Park.
