Detailed explanation-3: -The Deccan Plateau is surrounded by the Eastern Ghats and the Western Ghats to the East and West, respectively. No worries!
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
