Learning about the different types of Indian music and reading your "journey" has been fun, Conan. These days I mostly hear Indian music in a local Indian restaurant, which I always enjoy visiting because of the good veggie food, good music, and the kind owners, a family from India. In college, an American friend whose parents came from India danced traditional Indian dances, so I heard some of the music then and felt it was fascinating, especially when combined with classical Indian dancing.
Are you drawn to Indian improvisational music partly because you are interested in improvisation in your own songs?
I hadn't realized some of the pieces are so long. I found this short YouTube recording of "Veena" Chitti Babu, which you may like because it is so short and has a picture of a traditional dancer:
