Not sure how good they are, probably a mixed bag - but heres some to check out

http://www.soundsnap.com/search/audio/sitar/score

http://www.freesound.org/searchText.php (search "sitar"), can't link to search results there, but there are many sitar samples listed.

Plus I've also heard about this Indian vst in several places lately - its not free though.

There was also a free sitar VST called syntar that I once tried out, but their website is currently down. There must be a mirror of the file somewhere...

Teddy, I can e-mail you some bad ass sitar loops, unless you ONLY want multi-samps. Actually I have a shit load of world music loops and ethnic instruments. Wait, do you use Reason or FL? Cuz I got a great refill that would suit all your needs. let me know.

It'll do what it do till it done
You keep it pimp... I'm a keep it gangata!
