Vindhya
The mounts Vindhya are a sandy assembly line and basaltic of low altitude - from 460 to 1100 m - central India, which geographically separates the Indian sub-continent in India from north and India of the south, separating the gangetic plain from the plate of the Dekkan.
Vindhya are held on nearly a thousand of kilometers, in the north of the Narmadâ, starting in the west in the state of the Goujerat close to its border with the Madhya Pradesh, running towards the North-East to find the Gange with Mirzapur. On its southernmost slopes affluents of Narmadâ run, which runs out towards the west in a depression between Vindhya in north and the chain parallel of the Satpura in the south before being thrown in the Mer of Oman. The rivers of its septentrional slopes, such as the Kalisindh or the Betwâ, feed Gange. The Sone, as for him, is an affluent of Gange which drains water coming from the southernmost slopes of Vindhya at its Eastern end.
The plate of Vindhya is located at the north of the central part of the chain and overhangs the gangetic plain. One finds there the towns of Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, and Indore.
According to the legend, the Rishi Agastya, That which makes move the mountains , forced Vindhya to kneel in front of him, leaving him the passage towards India of the south where he invented the Tamoul and propagated the Brahmanisme there.
The National park of Bandhavgarh is located in Vindhya.
