Ah this is fun! :)

> I know enough Hindustani music to understand that only melodies are played, and almost never harmonies. Especially when the artiste is performing alap.

I think is broadly true, but anecdotally speaking, myself and people I’ve trained under use harmony and love harmony for hardcore Hindustani classical. It’s a bit of a shame that more don’t use it, but I wouldn’t underestimate it either.
