Paul in New Delhi, July, 1966

I found a photo taken of real Paul (with George) when The Beatles were in New Delhi, India from July 5-July 8, 1966.

This is the first photo I have seen of The Beatles in India.  The article is in the TribuneIndia issue of September 14, 2002 and can be found at http://www.tribuneindia.com/ .  The article describes The Beatles visiting an Indian musical instrument shop and says Paul bought an Indian instrument, a tanpura.

Note that Paul looked extremely grim and I think people investigating what happened to Paul should also start taking note of people around and in the background on Beatle photos.  For instance, the man in the shadows behind Paul.

Paul looks so upset.

The fellow between Paul and George, presumably the shop owner, doesn't look too thrilled, either. But most interestingly, definitely Paul and possibly George appear to be *in the process* of growing mustaches. This is the only in-between-growth picture I've seen so far, aside from a few pix of gross, sweaty Faul with full 72hrs and counting of not bathing beard stubble. All the others images have been either with mustache or without, entirely.
