My teacher always says it was the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and George Harrison taking lessons. But in my life, it became famous through my grandfather's old radio, which played The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" on Vividh Bharati. I asked him about that strange, beautiful sound, and for our family, that was the moment the sitar arrived in America—through a pop song on a crackling speaker in a Jaipur apartment, long before we ever heard of Monterey.
