Explanation:

Most of the Peninsular rivers have their origin in the Western Ghats. Eastern Ghats
comprising the discontinuous and low hills are highly eroded by the rivers such as the
Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna, the Kaveri, etc. Some of the important ranges include
the Javadi hills, the Palconda range, the Nallamala hills, the Mahendragiri hills, etc. The
Eastern and the Western Ghats meet each other at the Nilgiri hills.
