It extends over eight Indian states and encompasses a wide range of habitats, covering most of centraland southern India.[3]

The plateau is located between two mountain ranges, the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats, each of which rises from its respective nearby coastal plain, and almost converge at the southern tip of India. It is separated from the Gangetic plain to the north by the Satpura and Vindhya Ranges, which form its northern boundary. The Deccan produced some of the major dynasties in Indian history including Pallavas, Satavahana, Vakataka, Chalukya, and Rashtrakutadynasties, the Western Chalukya, the Kadamba Dynasty, Kakatiya Empire, Vijayanagara and Marathaempires and the Muslim Bahmani Sultanate, Deccan Sultanate, and the Nizam of Hyderabad.
