    1. Indian classical notation system represents three octaves:
      1. Mandra Saptak (Lower Octave): Notes are marked with a dot below (Ṇ, Ḍ, Ṃ).
      2. Madhya Saptak (Middle Octave): Notes are written normally (S, R, G, M, P, D, N).
      3. Taar Saptak (Higher Octave): Notes have a dot above (Ṡ, Ṙ, Ġ).
      This system helps musicians identify the pitch level and correctly interpret a composition’s structure.
