Deccan Plateau
The Deccan Plateau (
Marathi: डेक्कन) , also known as "The Great Countrie", is a vast elevated
tableland area with widely varying
terrain features making up the majority of southern India located between three ranges and extending over eight states. Its uplands make up an interior triangle nested within the familiar downward pointing triangle of the Indian sub-continents coastline. It is technically a vast
plateau with a wide range of habitats, encompassing most of Central and
Southern India. It is bounded in the west by the
Western Ghats and in the east by the
Eastern Ghats which each rise from their respective nearby coastal plains and nearly meet at the southern tip of India. These two formations form the southward pointing
vertex of a triangle which encompasses the plateau with the roughly West-south-west to East-north-east running
Satpura Range and
Vindhya Range forming the third side of the canine-tooth shaped triangular region. Those ranges separate the tableland from the heavily populated riverine plains of Northern India.
