Peninsular rivers in India can be broadly classified into east-flowing and west-flowing rivers. Most major peninsular rivers flow eastwards and drain into the Bay of Bengal. These include Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, and Cauvery. The Narmada river, however, is one of the major west-flowing rivers of the peninsula. It originates in the Amarkantak plateau in Madhya Pradesh and flows westwards through a rift valley before draining into the Arabian Sea through the Gulf of Khambhat.
