The Vindhya Range separates the Indo-Gangetic Plains of Northern India from the Deccan Plateau of Southern India. The Vindhya Range is a complex chain of mountain ridges, hill ranges, highlands, and plateau escarpments in west-central India. The northern chain of the Vindhyas continues eastwards as Bhander Plateau and as the traditional boundary between Hindustan proper (North India) and Deccan (South India). The Vindhya Range lies in the north of the Satpura Range and the east of the Aravali range. The Amarkantak region is the meeting point of the Vindhya and the Satpura Ranges, with the Maikal Hills being the fulcrum. This is where the Narmada River, the Son River and Johila River emerge.
