Once you have identified the best dates, you can try to buy from Travelocity's US office too, or anybody else.
The ITASoftware site offers a flexible date search also: matrix.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch/
Click on month long search in the upper right. Enter NYC (to check all NYC airports) and AMD or BOM for your destination. Select 15-16 nights as your stay, and December 22 as your starting date. It will then search departure dates one month from your selected starting date, based on a 15-16 night stay. You can then book on the airline's website directly.
As
aktchi has already suggested, look for consolidators both in the US and India.
