Explanation

The Narmada rises in the Maikala range and flows westward through the rift valley between the Vindhya range to its north and the Satpura range to its south. The Tapi flows south of the Satpuras, while the Sabarmati and Mahi flow through Gujarat/Rajasthan. Hence the Narmada is the river between the Satpura and Vindhya ranges.
