Harrison was inspired to write the song during a visit to the Hindu holy city of Vrindavan, in northern India, with his friend Ravi Shankar. The composition originated on a day that Harrison describes in his autobiography as "my most fantastic experience", during which his party and their ascetic guide toured the city's temples. The same visit led to Harrison staging Shankar's Music Festival from India in September 1974 and a joint North American tour with Shankar at the end of that year."It Is 'He'" continued Harrison's musical fusion of the Hindu bhajan style with Western pop, although it failed to attract the favourable reception of previous efforts such "My Sweet Lord", "Hare Krishna Mantra" and "Give Me Love". The recording features an unusual mix of instrumentation, including gospel keyboards, folk-rock acoustic guitar, Indian string and percussion instruments, and Moog synthesizer, along with choruses sung entirely in Sanskrit. Besides Harrison, the musicians on the recording include Billy Preston, Tom Scott and Emil Richards, all of whom played in his 1974 tour band and contributed to Shankar's concurrent release, Shankar Family & Friends.. }
