Detailed explanation-1: -The Deccan Plateau is a large plateau that covers most of South India. It is triangular, surrounded by three mountain ranges. It extends over eight Indian states (principally, Telangana, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu).
Detailed explanation-2: -Deccan, the entire southern peninsula of India south of the Narmada River, marked centrally by a high triangular tableland. The name derives from the Sanskrit daksina (“south”). The plateau is bounded on the east and west by the Ghats, escarpments that meet at the plateau’s southern tip.
Detailed explanation-3: -The plateau has three principal rivers: the Godavari, the Krishna, and the Kaveri. These rivers flow from the Western Ghats on the western side of the plateau eastward toward the Bay of Bengal, which is the largest bay in the world.
Detailed explanation-4: -They are usually eroded and cut through majorly by four rivers of peninsular India namely: Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri and Mahanadi. These mountain ranges are run parallel to the Bay of Bengal.
