The Deccan Plateau is the southern peninsula of India, south of the Narmada River, marked centrally by a high triangular tableland. The name derives from the Sanskrit "daksina" meaning south. The plateau is bounded on the east and west by the Ghats, escarpments that meet at the plateau’s southern tip. Its northern extremity is the Satpura Range.



The Deccan’s average elevation is about 2,000 feet (600 metres), sloping generally eastward. Its principal rivers - Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri - flow from the Western Ghats eastward to the Bay of Bengal. The plateau’s climate is drier than that on the coasts and is arid in places.
