Nit: Mostly the octave and the fifth in Indian music. Thirds aren't as much of a structural pillar.

Yeah, they opt for more microtonal/modal flavors.

Though yaman raga is very popular and has a regular third, while other ragas still have a third-ish note, but microtonically adjusted up/down from the major and minor variants.
