Which river Narmada has its source at Satpura Brahmagiri?

The Narmada River does not have its source at the Satpura Brahmagiri range; instead, it originates from the Amarkantak Plateau in Madhya Pradesh. The Godavari River originates from the Brahmagiri hills in the Western Ghats.

This is a common confusion among students. The Narmada is a west-flowing river with its source at Amarkantak in the Maikal range, which is part of the eastern end of the Satpura ranges. On the other hand, the Godavari, often called the “Dakshin Ganga,” begins at the Brahmagiri hills in Maharashtra.

Clarification between Narmada and Godavari

Key takeaway

• Narmada - Amarkantak Plateau (Satpura region).
• Godavari - Brahmagiri Hills (Western Ghats, Maharashtra).

So, while the question may create confusion, the correct answer is that the **Narmada originates from Amarkantak Plateau**, not Brahmagiri. The Brahmagiri hills are linked with the Godavari River.
