Deccan

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.
