17 Svaras (Vowels), 
25 Vyanjanas (Consonants)
(Semi-Vowels)
(Sibilants)


17 Svaras (Vowels):अ आ इ ई उ ऊ ऋ ॠ ऌ ॡ ए ऐ ओ औ ां ाः


25 Consonants :

+ 5 Rows starting with main aksharas : Ka, Cha, Ta, ta, Pa

+ 5 Columns for Hard, Hard+Exhale, Soft, Soft-Exhale, Silent-Nasal
+ 5 Rows x 5 Columns = 25 Consonants

     --------------------------------------------------------------
2)  च (Cha) | छ (CHa)   | ज (Ja)   | झ (JHa)    | ञ (NY)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
3) ट (TTa)   | ठ (TTHa)  | ड(DDa) |  ढ (DDHa) | ण (NNa)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
4) त (Ta)     | थ (THa)    | द (Da)  |  ध(DHa)    |  न (Na)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
5) प (Pa)     | फ (PHa)   | ब (Ba)   | भ (BHa)    | म (Ma)

Note:
0) Different Vargas press tongue (or lips) at 5 different locations in the mouth.
   Soft Palate
   Soft+Hard Palate
   Tip of Tongue on Hard Palate
   Teeth
   Lips

1) SilentNasal : This is the Nasal variation of the consonant.
Consonant itself is silent but modifies the Nasal sound by changing the shape and volume of mouth. You just press the tongue as for first letter silently and create a nasal sound (Anusvara)

2) The first Varga(Row) called Ka-Varga consists of Ka and its variations.
Same rule applies for the other rows identified by starting akshara.
So from starting syllable you can generate 4 variations.
And to create 25 consonants all you need is 5 starting letters and 4 Variations each.
Simple!!
