Indian numerals

Indian numerals are a traditional numeral system used primarily in India and some neighboring countries, consisting of unique symbols for numbers 0 through 9. They are different from the familiar Western Arabic numerals (0-9) used globally today. The system is part of the larger Indian numbering framework, which includes names and positions for large numbers like thousand, lakh (100,000), and crore (10 million). Indian numerals have influenced and contributed to the development of modern numeral systems, and they are still used in various cultural, literary, and traditional contexts within India.
