Subramaniam and sarangi player Sultan Khan. Before the European tour began in September 1974, Shankar and Harrison recorded a studio album with the sixteen Music Festival musicians at Friar Park. Using the facilities from his upstairs studio, FPSHOT, Harrison recorded the album in Friar Park's drawing room, overlooking the property's expansive gardens. Shankar wrote the pieces in a variety of traditional Indian folk and classical styles, often composing on his way to Henley from his London hotel, while travelling along the M4 motorway. Harrison later recalled his fear that Shankar's directions to the assembled musicians would create a musical "catastrophe", yet the result each time was "the most amazing thing". Among the tracks on Ravi Shankar's Music Festival from India, "Raga Jait" is Shankar's interpretation of that raga for an orchestral ensemble, and the ten-minute "Dehati" features extended interplay between the various percussionists.

Adopting the pseudonym "Hari Georgeson", since he was still contracted to EMI-affiliated Apple Records, Harrison contributed on electric and acoustic guitars, and autoharp. Shankar played sitar, surbahar and Moog synthesizer, and otherwise served as director and conductor at the sessions. Other participants included guitarist David Bromberg, members of the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra, and electronic music artists Paul Beaver and Robert Margouleff. One side of the original LP consisted of music that Shankar had composed for a ballet, titled Dream, Nightmare & Dawn, while among the album's other songs and bhajans was a rare English-language pop composition by Shankar, "I Am Missing You". Harrison arranged the latter track in a rock-music setting, with backing from Western musicians such as Scott, Billy Preston, Ringo Starr and Jim Keltner; sung by
