Vindhya Range — Local services in Chhiulaha

The Vindhya Range is a range of older rounded mountains and hills in the west-central Indian subcontinent, which geographically separates the Indian subcontinent into northern India (the Indo-Gangetic plain) and Southern India.

Introduction: The western end of the range is in the state of Gujarat at the eastern side of the Gujarat peninsula, near the border with the modern states of Rajasthanand Madhya Pradesh. Reaching the sub-continent proper, the range runs east and north nearly to the Ganges River at Mirzapur. The area to the north and west of the range are arid and inhospitable, located in the shadow of both the Vindhya and the higher Aravalli range to the south blocking the prevailing winds.

Legend: Hindu legends say that the Vindhya mountains once showed a tendency to grow so high as to obstruct the usual trajectory of the sun. This was accompanied by increasing vanity on the part of that mountain range, which demanded that Surya should circum-ambulate the Vindhyas in the same way as he does Mount Meru. The need arose to subdue, by guile, the Vindhyas, and Agastya was chosen to do that.

Agastya Muni journeyed from north to south, and on the way encountered the now impassible Vindhya mountains. He asked the mountain range to facilitate his passage across to the south. In reverence for Agastya, the Vindhya mountains bent low enough to enable the sage and his family to cross over and enter southern India. The Vindhya range also promised not to increase in height until Agastya Muni and his family returned to the north. Agastya Muni settled permanently in the south, near Nasik by the river Godavari in the beginning & later far south in Tamilnadu, and the Vindhya range, true to its word, never...

I still can't get over this place!!! The Vindhyachal Range is made up of a variety of landforms, including different hill systems, and is older than the Himalayas. The range is formed from silica, sandy red stone, and quad quartz. The highest peak in the Vindhyachal Range is Sigar peak (881 meters) in the Malwa region. The Vindhyachal Range in Madhya Pradesh is a strip of hilly area that is 5 to 20 kilometers wide. It is about 5 kilometers wide near village Dhani, 10 kilometers wide near Mograbav, and 20 kilometers wide west of Tanda. The Vindhyachal Range has significant importance in Indian mythology...

The Vindhya Range (also known as Vindhyachal) is a complex, discontinuous chain of mountain ridges, hill ranges, highlands and plateau escarpments in west-central India. Technically, the Vindhyas do not form a single mountain range in the geological sense. The exact extent of the Vindhyas is loosely defined, and historically, the term covered a number of distinct hill systems in central India, including the one that is now known as the Satpura Range. Today, the term principally refers to the escarpment and its hilly extensions that runs north of and roughly parallel to the Narmada...
