What are thr Sofa syllables in Indian music?

In Indian music, "Sofa" syllables, or "sargam," refer to the mnemonic phrases used to denote the seven notes (swaras) of the musical scale: Sa (do), Re (re), Ga (mi), Ma (fa), Pa (sol), Dha (la), and Ni (ti). Each syllable corresponds to a specific pitch, facilitating the teaching and learning of melodies. The term "Sofa" itself is not commonly used; instead, "sargam" is the more recognized term in the context of Indian Classical Music.
