The evolution of the Deccan Syneclise was complete with the outpouring of the lavas, but the Rajmahal and Sylhet events continued into the Cretaceous.
The main volcanic event occurred in a short period between 60-65 m.y. ago and the second significant activity took 42-50 m.y. ago in the north eastern part. The volcanic activities are related to the activation (opening and rupturing) of the West Coast Fault and the faults of the Tapi and Narmada Grabens.
The lower and upper lava flows contain numerous inter-trappean beds of lacustrine and fluviatile origin.
