Detailed Solution

Deccan Plateau is located in India.
The Sanskrit word "Dakshin," which translates to "South," is where the term Deccan comes from. Southern India mostly consists of the Deccan plateau. It has eastern Ghats on the east and western Ghats on the west. These Ghats are the southern-pointing apex of this triangle-shaped plateau, rising from the adjacent coastal plains. The Nigiri and Aravalli hills surround it on the south, and the Chhota Nagpur hills surround it on the north. Rivers like the Krishna, Godavari, Penner, and Kaveri drain this area. The majority of these rivers originate close to the Arabian Sea and eventually run in the direction of the Bay of Bengal. This region of the country spans eight states. These include Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka, among others. There is a dry plateau here.
