WHAT DOES DECCAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Deccan

Deccan Plateau

The Deccan Plateau is a large plateau in India, making up most of the southern part of the country. It rises a hundred metres high in the north, and more than a kilometre high in the south, forming a raised triangle within the familiar downward-pointing triangle of the Indian subcontinent's coastline. It extends over eight Indian states and encompasses a wide range of habitats, covering most of central and southern India. It is located between two mountain ranges, the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats. Each rises from its respective nearby coastal plain. They almost meet at the southern tip of India. The Deccan Plateau is separated from the Gangetic plain to the north by the Satpura and Vindhya Ranges, which form its northern boundary. The name Deccan is an anglicised form of the Bengali word dakkhin, itself derived from the Sanskrit word dákṣiṇa, meaning "south".
