Geography
Explore the geographic features that help explain India.
Himalayas, plains and peninsula
India is framed by the Himalayas in the north, broad river plains below them, and the ancient Deccan Plateau across the southern peninsula. Reading this sequence—from high mountains through fertile lowlands to land projecting into the Indian Ocean—is a key to the country's geography.
[1]Great rivers and monsoon rain
The Ganges and Brahmaputra carry water and sediment from the Himalayas, building fertile plains and a great delta. Summer monsoon winds bring moisture from the ocean, though timing and amounts vary. Farming and water supplies therefore depend on both rivers and seasonal rain.
[1]A peninsula surrounded on three sides
The peninsula faces the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean. The Western and Eastern Ghats run near the coasts and influence rainfall and rivers. Long shorelines support ports and fishing and have connected India with Africa, West Asia and Southeast Asia for centuries.
