VINDHYA

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 92 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VINDHYA , a range of mountains in Central India. It forms a well-marked, though not quite continuous,
chain
  across India, separating the Ganges basin from the
Deccan
 . Starting on the west in
Gujarat
 , the Vindhyas
cross
  Malwa and the central portions of India, until their easternmost spurs abut on the valley of the Ganges at Rajmahal. They thus roughly form the northern side of the triangle, of which the other two sides are the Eastern and Western Ghats. They have an
elevation
  of '1500 to 4500 ft., nowhere exceeding 5000 ft. Geologically they give their name to the " Vindhyan formation," one of the recognized
rock
  systems of India. In legendary tradition they formed the demarcating line between the Madyadesha or middle
land
  of the Sanskrit invaders and the non-Aryan
Deccan
 , and they are still largely inhabited by aboriginal races such as the
Bhils
 .
