Answer:

The main water divide in peninsular rivers is formed by the Western Ghats, which run from north to south close to the western coast. Most of the major rivers of the peninsula such as the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Kaveri flow eastwards and drain into the Bay of Bengal.

Answer:Peninsular Rivers are the seasonal rivers as their flow primarily relies on the rainfall. These rivers experience a reduction in the flow of water, even if they are long, during the dry season. They are characterised with short and shallow courses.

Most of the peninsular rivers arise from the Western Ghats, flows towards the east and drain into the Bay of Bengal. It includes rivers like the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Cauveri, etc. that make deltas. However, the Narmada and the Tapi are the two rivers whose point of origin is the central highlands, and they flow towards the west, and makes estuaries. Estuaries are nothing but small deltas.
