Explanation:

The Narmada and the Tapi which flow through the rift valley are, however, exceptions in the case mentioned in this question.
The characteristic features of Peninsular rivers are:
? The fixed course of its flow due to the hard rocky terrain of Peninsular India
? Rivers don’t form meanders. A meander is one of a series of regular sinuous curves, bends, loops, turns, or windings in the channel of a river, stream, or other watercourses.
? The river does not flow for the most part of the year. These are thus called as non-perennial in nature.
