Feature of Deccan Plateau

The Deccan Plateau lies to the south of the Satpura Range and extends up to Cape Comorin. It is of triangular shape.

The Deccan Plateau is composed of some of the oldest crys­talline rocks. It lies within the framework of the Satpura-Mahadeo-Mahakala ranges in the north, the Sahyadris or the Western Ghats in the west and the Malayadri or the Eastern Ghats in the east.

The plateau gently slopes towards the east.

Its height varies from 300 meters to 900 meters above the sea level.

The western edge of the Deccan Plateau is marked by the Western Ghats. The Sahyadri, the Nilgiri, the Annamalai and the Cardamom Hills are all collectively known as the Western Ghats. Overlooking the Arabian Sea, they run parallel to the West coast of India. Their average height goes on increasing from north to south. Anamudi (2,695 m) is the highest peak of the plateau.

The eastern edge of the plateau is formed by the hills which are low and discontinuous. They are collectively known as the Eastern Ghats (Malayadri).

Mahendragiri (1500 meters) was regarded as the highest peak of the Eastern Ghats for quiet a long time. However, according to the recent geological discoveries, Jindhagada with a height of 1690 meters, is the highest peak of the Eastern Ghats.

Extending towards the south, the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats meet together at the Nilgiri Hills or the Blue Mountains.

The highest peak of the Nilgiri is Dodabetta (2,637 m).

The Anaimalai and the Cardamom Hills lie south of the Nilgiri Hills. The AnaiMudi in the Anaimalai Hills is the highest peak in the Deccan. Anaimudi Peak is also known as the “Everest of South India”.

The Deccan plateau is a triangular landmass that lies to the south of the river Narmada. The Satpura range flanks it's broad base in the north while the Mahadev, the Kalimur hills and the Maikal range form it's eastern extensions.
The Deccan plateau is higher in the West and slopes gently eastwards. An extension of the plateau is also visible in the northeast - locally known as the Meghalaya, Karbi-Anglong plateau and North Cachar Hills. It is separated by a fault from the Chotanagpur plateau.
