Narmada River

The Narmada is a river of central India, flowing about 1,300 kilometres westwards from Amarkantak in Madhya Pradesh through a rift valley between the Vindhya and Satpura ranges to the Gulf of Khambhat. It has long marked the traditional boundary between northern India and the Deccan; Pulakeshin II halted Harsha there in the 7th century. Hindus regard it as one of the holiest rivers.
