India is bordered by the young fold mountains on the north-western, northern and north-eastern side, the Bay of Bengal in the east, the Arabian Sea in the west and the Indian Ocean in the south.
The relief features of India are :
The Himalayas are geologically young fold mountains covering the northern border of India. The Himalayan range is the highest and the most rugged mountain range in the world.
The Northern Plain is located in the southern part of the Himalayan range. The Northern Plain is also called the Indo-Gangetic plain. The soil cover in this plain is rich and fertile, and water is found in plenty, combined with a favourable climate for growing several major crops, the Northern Plain is one of the world’s most intensively farmed areas and hence very densely populated.
Plateaus are also called tablelands like the Peninsular Plateau which is a tableland. This tableland was formed when Gondwanaland broke and the pieces drifted apart. It is composed of old crystalline, igneous and metamorphic rocks. The Peninsular Plateau consists of both broad and shallow valleys, and rounded hills.
The Great Indian Desert is a rolling sandy plain covered by sand dunes and most of these are crescent-shaped sand dunes, called Barchans of longitudinal dunes.
The western coastal runs along the Arabian Sea.
The eastern coast runs along the Bay of Bengal, displays wide and level stretches and has different local names.

plzz find below the question of the asked query
India has land under a variety of relief features, namely; mountains, plateaus, plains and islands.
• Plains-
About 43 per cent of the land area is plains. These areas are fertile and maximum cultivation is done in these areas.
-The Indo-Gangetic plain is drained by Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra. It extends over an area of 2400 km. It is an area of intensive cultivation.
-The Coastal Plains run along the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri are some of the prominent rivers that drain this area.
• Mountains
- 30 per cent of the total surface area of India is covered with mountains. They ensure perennial flow of some rivers; provide facilities for tourism and ecological aspects. The Himalayas in the north, the Eastern and Western Ghats are the main mountainous zones.
• Plateau-
About 27 per cent of the area of the country is the plateau region. It possesses rich reserves of minerals, fossilfuels and forests. The Peninsula plateau and the Chotanagpur plateau are the two most important plateau zones in India. TheDamodar river drains the Chotanagpur plateau and the Peninsular plateau is drained by Tungabhadra, Bhima and Krishna river.
• Island
sare less than 1 per cent of the areaof the country. They provide opportunities for sea trade, tourism, and fish catch. The Lakshadweep islands and the Andaman Nicobar islands are the two major groups of islands in India...
