This physiographic division is the largest

part of the plateau region of India. The shape

of this plateau is roughly triangular. One of

the sides of this triangle is marked by the line

joining Kanyakumari with Rajmahal Hills and

this line passes through the Eastern Ghats. The

second arm is marked by the Satpura Range,

Mahadeo Hills, Maikal Range and the Rajmahal

Hills. The third arm is marked by the Western

Ghats. The area of this Plateau is about 7 lakh

square km and the height ranges from 500 to

1000 m above sea level.

The Western Ghats forms the western

edge of the Peninsular Plateau. It runs parallel

to the Arabian Sea coast. The northern part

of this range is called as Sahyadris. The height

of the Sahyadris increases from north to

south. Anaimudi is a sort of tri-junction of

the Anaimalai Range, the Cardamom Hills

and the Palani Hills. Kodaikanal is a beautiful

hill resort situated on the Palani Hills. Eastern

Ghats run from southwest to northeast form

the eastern edge of this Plateau. This range

is also called as Poorvadri. The Eastern

Ghats join the Western Ghats at the Nilgiri

hills, bordering Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

The Eastern Ghats are not continuous like

the Western Ghats. The rivers of Mahanadi,

Godavari, Krishna, Pennar and Kaveri have

dissected this range at many places.
