Deccan

The Deccan Plateau or Peninsular Plateau, is a plateau that extends over an area of 422,000 km2 (163,000 sq mi) on the southern part of the Indian subcontinent. The plateau forms the bulk of the Deccan Peninsula, and stretches from the Satpura and Vindhya ranges in the north to the northern fringes of Tamil Nadu in the south. It is bound by the Eastern and the Western Ghats mountain ranges on the sides, which separate the region from the Eastern and Western Coastal Plains respectively. The plateau covers most of the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Telangana, excluding their coastal regions, and includes minor portions of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
