Maybe/may not be...

Steve Hackett - Waters of the Wild has an indian influence  http://tinysong.com/1jQi7
and there's also his "Waking to Life" which is nice http://tinysong.com/14QQk

Then there's Janne Schaffer - Berzeeli Park http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS-9Qrnfhc8

Hey there Addicted!

Two artists I can instantly think of:

Magic Carpet

Magic Carpet are a early 70's hippie/folk/raga-rock band with a female folk singer. If you get the CD reissue of the first album, there's also a 20-odd minute instrumental solo sitar piece that is wonderful. This is a very dear album to me, I listen to it everytime I work nightshift:



****

The Oresund Space Collective are a modern improvised instrumental space-rock band, but they put out a lovely ambient/sitar based mellow album a few years back, and it's one of their most special. Well worth tracking the LP of it down:

Oresund Space Collective - West Space and Love


Hope these two very different suggestions are a start for you!

Thanks Aussie-Byrd-Brother...wud surely check them out.
