The history of music notation is almost as old as music itself. Ever since the art of music arose, people have been involved in musical performance and composition. However, the lack of a systematic recording led to the loss of many old musical materials in the depths of history. The invention of the recording system made it possible to leave music to future generations by writing signs on paper. The perception of music by people has evolved differently in different parts of the world, and along with changing traditions and cultures, musical characteristics have also changed from country to country. Therefore, musical systems throughout the world have always developed on the basis of certain aesthetic laws, facts and phenomena.
The traditional Indian music system is still sophisticated one. This music consisted of the melodies, micro-intervals and complex rhythmic is a very valuable contribution to the world culture.

However, this does not mean that Indian music has never been recorded throughout history. In fact, the history of notations in India is rooted in the distant past. Notation systems, which have emerged from time to time to keep music and prevent loss, also provide access to older compositions. In this article, in which we will discuss the musical notation system of India, which has played a very important role in the cultural shaping of world music history, we want to give some information on this subject.
