Detailed Solution

The Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Kaveri are the four rivers which form the extensive delta on the coast. These rivers lie on the east coast of India, which is sandwiched between the Bay of Bengal in the east and the eastern ghats in the west. The northern strand of the east coast is known as the Northern circar, and the southern stretch is called the Coromandel Coast. Paddy, jowar, gram, and groundnut are the main crops grown on the east coast. The Chilika lake is the largest salt lake in Odisha, which lies in the southern region of the Mahanadi delta and is an important attribute of the east coast.
