Where the hell can I get 2.5 hrs of indian music for an Indian themed dinner party?

Edit: Yes I mean Indian like Ravi Shankar, not native like Graham Greene

If you have any friends that are DJ's you can ask them, or, you can just download your favourite music.

That's bollywood, that is considered as POP music. Indian-ambient, is like classical music (Mozart, Beethoven)

Get one song and loop it. They all sound the same anyways.

Why not just show an Indian movie at your dinner party, given the length of the avg. Indian movie it is likely you wont even be halfway finished at 2.5 hrs.

Do you want strictly classical? If you aren't looking for stricly classical I would suggest getting some of the Buddha Bar compilations, each are two discs, the first disc is always labelled "Dinner" which gives a selection of exactly that. The second of the set is called "Party". But not all songs are indian or indian influenced. There are previews on amazon or possibly on other sites. PM me if you want more info for this or others.
